There are a few who become discouraged and give up. It is sad to see, but these are likely the same students who would also give up with a traditional grading system.

I love how you have turned mastering the material into ‘Convince me!” I am curious though how do you keep students motivated to keep trying when you write back to them “not yet”?

I also have students who try to convince me daily that they "will never use this." While they may not ever have to plot a function, the act of having learned it creates newly wired pathways in their brain which will help them be better problem solvers in the future. This results in less googling and more problem solving. It's not so hard to convince them these days.
