  Case: Extra credit for attending study session?
I have a colleague that offered 5 pts on a test if students came in early and attended a study session before school. Is it right to offer extra credit like this? Shouldn't the material reviewed in the study session itself be the reward?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think if the students is motivated to come in after school or early to review then that should be rewarded. I am always surprised by how many of my students do not take advantage of extra credit.
