Pamula, the technique you describe about allowing students to earn some of their points back for test corrections. I have found this to be a best practice in that it aligns well with research on student learning outcomes and student connectedness to the curriculum and a particular course. By learning from their mistakes you can break down a lot of barriers and the end result is a better prepared student for the next level of learning. Our industry needs to do more research on this technique but I have seen first hand how beneficial such feedback can be to student learning outcomes. James Jackson
