Really, are you suggesting that I don't know how best to motivate and encourage the students? Better to be brisk and forthright about the consequences of less than the very best work, I think. Clearly.
I'm equally surprised you're questioning my punishment, but since you request it, I will consider whether something else might be even more appropriate. Perhaps it's as well that we've a little time before implementing whatever it is I choose.
