Yes, but grades primarily motivate the best (objection 1);
No, because grades discourage students (objection 2).

Warning banners

Depending on the box you check here, you will add a warning message pointing out the shortcomings of the “Objections” section below:

Objections to reorganize: objections are redundant, need to be unraveled, or the structure can be clarified.

Objections to reorganize

Argument page name It is the content of this page that will be loaded into the debate. On Wikidebates, each argument has a page that is dedicated to him. You can thus use the same argument several times and in different debates. This field is required.
Title to be displayed A shorter or more punchy title can be displayed instead of the page name above. Take the opportunity to lighten it and make reading more fluid. Example: Argument page name : Realistic models for financing basic income exist Title to be displayed : Realistic funding models This field is required.
Warning(s) If the title to be displayed poses a problem, report it by checking the corresponding box(es): Unclear displayed title: the title is confusing, jargon, overly allusive or telegraphic; Too long displayed title: the title contains several sentences or is globally too developed; Unfavorable displayed title: the title presents the argument in a lacunary or caricatured way.	Unclear displayed title Too long displayed title Unfavorable displayed title
