She approaches the teacher and proposes that she provide a sketch to show she has mastered the techniques presented during the quarter. Should the teacher give her the extra points? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The teacher can avoid this issue if he or she makes a decision about extra credit when the syllabus is created. Having a policy on extra credit allows students to know where they stand all year. It also helps the teacher if another student complains that he or she did not get an extra opportunity. To answer the question, the teacher should or should not give the points based on protocols that are already in place.
