[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have to be an equal number of credit and extra credit assignments. Do they have to be weighted the same in Aspen? [/quote]
Yes[/quote]

According to what source?  Equal number doesn't have to mean equal weight.[/quote]

Sigh.  I KNOW they don't mean the same thing.  According to the DCPS 4th advisory grading policy posted on the previous page.  Also discussed with, I would assume, all faculty during PD on Friday. Since you can't be bothered to read the previous page, here is the relevant quote for you, bolded.  You're welcome.

Assigning an Equal Balance of Regular Credit and Extra Credit 
We believe that it is important that students have multiple routes to earn credit during this period of at home learning, so we ask that teachers assign two assignments per week in term 4. [b]One assignment should count as regular credit and the next should count as extra-credit. The assignments should carry equal value (they should be out of the same number of points).[/b] At the end of the term, the term 4 gradebook should contain an equal number of points for regular credit and extra credit assignments. This adjustment will give students an opportunity to earn high term 4 grades and increase their overall course grade. [/quote]
