In highschool I had a mathematics teacher that graded partly on the answer and partly on the calculations
He always said that the getting to the right solution is sometimes more important than the actual solution and I loved this
Even though you knew the solution right away, you had to demonstrate you knew how to get there
I'm not sure this is common but I do know it's very effective!
