Bonus vs. Extra Credit |

Definitions |

|
BONUS is an opportunity for students =
to show
they know more than what's expected. Not knowing doesn't hurt; it can only
help. The teacher determines when bonus is a part of an assignment. EXTRA CREDIT is not allowed in this class. |

s is a
way of asking for a low score to be thrown out for some reason. I do not
practice that in my classroom, so don’t ask about it or suggest it.=

just those on the edge. Bonus items show up on reading check quizzes, stu=

student can do to replace bad grades because apparently what is assigned =
is
hard enough to handle and why would a student like that want more work! <=

My Philosophy |
||
|
My philosophy on t=
his is
quite simple: I am maintaining the integrity of a good grade the first ti=
me
an assignment is completed. To do otherwise means the first time was
unimportant or didn’t matter, and wasted work is not usually a part=
of
this classroom. So, do your best & this won’t even be an issue.=
