[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can get on board with retakes, but with two caveats: 1) You can't do infinite retakes. You get one chance 2) Your grade on the retake is capped at a B. You shouldn't be able to flunk a test and then walk away with an A. That completely devalues those who made the effort to work hard and prep for the test the first time.[/quote] The end goal is that they walk away from the class knowing math, not putting a premium on acing the test the first time. [/quote] There are multiple goals with education. One goal is knowing, another end goal is learning effective work-study habits, time management and organizational skills. Generous retake policies [i]might[/i] help with the former, but they [i]definitely[/i] harm the latter.[/quote]
