Chapter 10: Conditions for Redoing Work for Full Credit

Chapter 10 was about something that I feel very passionately about – full credit work redos. When the author said that in some situations, mostly when the issue is the student’s character, it is better for the student’s learning to rescind the option to redo work, I agreed – while redos are allowed in life, they’re generally not preferred. Also, bragging about knowing how to rip off the system is not a life skill. I agreed with most of the segments listed in the chapter. Not allowing redo work during the last week of the grading period sounds like it prevents many stressful situations for the teacher – as long as the students are well-aware of this policy. Of course, as mentioned before in Chapter 7, it is important for a teacher to be able to bend if it will facilitate learning in one or two individual cases.
