Except that it doesn't matter if you have brilliant ideas if you cannot effectively communicate them. If I can't understand what the student's logic and ideas are, then I cannot give them grades to reflect those ideas. Effectively communicating ideas is a skill that these students will need to succeed throughout their careers.
