Hi John, excellent point! Sometimes when a student has scored poorly on a test, I go over the missed questions with them and get their perception of the what the question was asking - it may be completely different from the intended meaning. I even have had students negotiate, or "argue back" their answers and why they chose them - if it's logical and they thought through the process, they might receive credit. The bottom-line though is that if an answer is just out and out incorrect regarding a term, definition, procedure, etc., then we have to make sure the student has the correct information.
