Sherry,
I agree extra points to pass a class has no value in student learning. For me, I try to make sure all my components (quizzes and exams, projects, labs, skills, homework, professional development) are balanced so that not just one category makes or breaks the student, but also, I want the most important ares to have more weight. In the end, it's important to to me to make sure I am accurately amnbd fairly measuring student learning.
