Just like a math problem on a test a small error is a failure. If a surgeon makes an error some one can die. Mistakes are not allowed. Why should there be exceptions for other subjects?

Uhmmmm
You receive partial marks/credit on 99% of courses.....
You forgot to hand in an assignment and you are equating that to answering a question half way?
ANytime you write a paper you are receiving a partial credit unless you achieve 100%........Anytime you solve a 30 point Engineering problem but run out of time you receive partial credit.......... You are preparing a precipitate in Organic Chem lab and get only 70% yield when 90% is required you get a partial credit.
P.S Oh and during surgery you still will get partial credit if you are only able to canulize the one ureter but punctured the kidney by accident........... OOPS was that my inner voice speaking out loud.
