Law of Diminishing Returns: Does Practice Make Perfect?
Through my reading I found that The Law of Diminishing
Returns says that continuous practice creates continuous improvement, even
though improvements may be in smaller and smaller increments. If this is true,
should anyone receive a grade of 100% on test, paper or demonstration of skill?
Obviously, with diminishing returns, none of us ever gets it perfect. Are such
scores counterproductive in that they create a sense of “being done”
or “right” that stops our learners for continuing to practice? Do you
think we should eliminate tests and scores because they are artificial and
deter continuous development? Take a position and write a two to three
paragraph position statement.
