[quote=Anonymous]My favourite profs in college basically built in no-questions-asked leniency: either dropping the worst homework grade for the semester or giving us 72 hours of late time that we could use across all our homework without getting a penalty. If you had an emergency or unique situation, you could talk to them about it but I never had to because these results gave me enough wiggle room I could learn to manage my time around it. I also had one prof who gave five midterms, one for each section of the course. The final exam was effectively the same five tests, and your final grade was the better score of the midterm OR final exam section for each unit. So if you did well on the midterms, you got to skip the final, and if you bombed a few tests, you could make it up during the final exam. Basically, I think I'm saying: building in redundancy and leniency in the course structure helps re-enforce learning while also giving students a bit of flexibility.[/quote]
