Agreed. You need to give the proper caveats. I tell them that if they give
me F paper I can give them guidelines on how to make it a passing paper. If
they give me a B or A paper I'll edit it in a more fine grained way to help
them get an A or A+. I even had one student (who I was allowing to rewrite
a paper) return the exact the same paper to me (complete with all my
previous editing marks) and ask me to edit it again........ i.e., re-write
it for her. I did tell her one thing she hadn't known before. I gave her
a detailed definition of the word "Chutzpah."
