Hi Tyler: I try to think about school as close to work as possible. So, I tend not to award extra credit at all. There may be reasons why students have not earned all the points, or learned the material, but I believe students are accountable for their learning. EC points don't do anything towards learning, only contribute to the grade. I will allow students to do extra activities, but they don't get extra credit for it. They get recognition, and benefit by the activity itself. I'm all in favor of that kind of extra class work. Regards, Barry
