When students in her room complete their work, Ms. Calhoun has them come to wherever she is in the room and hand her their work. She stops and checks each paper quickly for effort and accuracy, then dismisses the child to go back to his or her desk. Sometimes there are a few students lined up, waiting for Ms. Calhoun to assess their papers. This practice is
 
  a. largely ineffective, for although Ms. Calhoun does ensure that students complete their work accurately, the process means that large amounts of time can be lost while students wait.
  b. largely ineffective, because Ms. Calhoun should do this only at her desk so traffic flow is not impeded by the line that forms.
  c. largely effective, because no student can turn in a paper on which he or she has only tried half-heartedly.
  d. largely effective, because with this procedure in place, all students turn in all assignments every day.
