Hi Kathleen:
You've made a good point.
Maybe one has to look at their students like their own kids, whose needs are different and therefore treated differently. But invariably some students will feel or express that student got special treatment, or the dreaded "favoritisism". It may not be the intent, but that's how they feel. So, unless I can give assignments available for all, I just don't do extra credit.
Regards, Barry
