Hello everyone, Well I would appreciate any of you who are able and willing to offer some advice on matter I've been dealing with.
Here's the situation: I have two large sections of Intro Psych. Their final grades are typically based on six term tests (93%) and experimental credits (7%). Now, this year, due in part to overwhelming student support (no surprise!) and due in part, perhaps, to my own extra-sympathetic tendencies at this time of year (particularly, given the larger context of everything that's going on) I've decided to drop the lowest mark, and base the 93% on the best 5 test marks. Now, this was not in the original syllabus last September, and was only introduced just very recently. But, there is still one more test to write. I know there are going to be students (those who will be going into the last test with an A or an A+) who will now certainly not put very much effort into this test. I've said that everyone still needs to write the last test. My question is this: should I just go all the way, since I've gone this far, and allow this last test to be optional (as a few students have asked)? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
