Hmmmm, yes Im personally learning this all to well.
Im in the process of finishing a diploma and Im not sure I like TAFE's current scoring process of pass or fail, no more no less.
It's become a bit of a running joke in class how I will thoroughly research projects in accordance to the marking criteria and others will just scribble on loose bits of paper yet we all pass with the same grade

, makes it really hard to justify giving it your best.
A couple of years back I took over the running of the local netball competition. I decided that instead of everyone getting a trophy, you would only get one if you made it into the finals, and everyone else would recevie a rather small and non-descript participation medallion on a ribbon. Everyone I spoke to about what I was going to do said they understood my point, but that I would upset a lot of people and get lots of complaints. Most people only found out that they wouldn't be getting a trophy on the presentation day. Out of a few hundred families in the competition, I got ZERO complaints, and DOZENS of thank you's.
