Awarding extra credit

Hi Megan:
Many teachers agree with the "no EC policy", I among them. Extra activity is OK, but receiving credit for it is not fair, tend's not to measure everyone equally, rewards slackers, is viewed by some students as unfair, and contributes to grade inflation.

Also, in some professions, missing critical information can be harmful to patients or customers.

So for all these reasons, I don't advocate for EC.

Regards, Barry
