Awarding extra credit

Public

Discussion:

Hi Wayne:
Many teachers would agree with your sentiments. In some professions, students simply have to have the requisite knowledge to be successful. I think sometimes some teachers don't separate the process of awarding grades and points from the process leading to learning and gaining appropriate knowledge. Perhaps that's OK in softer courses where the outcome is not directly related to their performance as workers.
