Awarding extra credit

Tara,
I would suggest you don't even adopt an extra credit policy. This practice can be viewed by stronger students (who don't need EC) as unfair. Also grading may be viewed as subjective. And points earned from EC often skew final grades. It's really a question of "measuring learning" vs "raising grades" (which may have little to do with learning). As educators, I think most would prefer to measure true learning.
