Joe Murphy on 18 Jan 18I am not a fan of "extra credit" in general, but this faculty member has a compelling structure for it. I see three strengths: extra credit is available throughout the semester, not just at the end; it's based on reflection and analysis, not just attendance; and it encourages students to participate in campus events while using the lessons of the course.
