520 _aIn this seminar, Maryellen Weimer will discuss the pros and cons of offering extra credit. This seminar will give you new ways to think about your extra credit policies. You will learn how to use extra credit to enhance learning and not to reinforce procrastination or other irresponsible behaviors. In particular, participants will: review legitimate reasons why some faculty offer extra credit while others do not, consider several creatively designed extra-credit options, reevaluate assumptions about the purposes and value of extra credit, explore how terminology (simply using the words "extra credit") affects attitudes about optional assignments or mid-term changes to syllabi, and learn strategies to improve the efficacy of current extra credit practices.
