As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades. 注：uninspired 沒有靈感的 inspire 激勵，有靈感 In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims. 66.
