Chapter 10

Students should be allowed to make up their work for full credit. By only giving partial credit, some students may feel that there is no point in making up the work. I want my students to realize that I give work for a reason and that it is important. If I give zeros or partial credit, it tells the student that the work is not important. If a student does an assignment incorrectly or poorly, they should be given a chance to redo their work, too. This way, I and the student will feel more confident about their understanding of the material. As a teacher, I also need to try to figure out why a student is having or asking to redo or make up their work often. There may be a problem outside of the classroom.
