Chapter 10: Conditions for Redoing Work for Full Credit

Chapter ten had conditions that students should be allowed to redo assignments. Allowing students to redo assignments can be very powerful for understandings. However, this can also cause problems with students repeatedly putting in a half done assignment because they know that there will be a chance to repeat the assignment later on. This can cause more time grading for the teacher and more headaches. What I plan to do is to allow students to redo their work only after they have talked to me about what they did wrong and how they plan on revising and fixing the assignment. I hope that students will not rely on a redo but use it as a tool to further their knowledge. Giving students a chance to redo the assignment is very important but can be very frustrating and disappointing if not handled corretly.
