Realistically by the time the project is rolling in June, semester grades will more or less already be closed. However, I would consider counting the project as extra credit if the kids do a very good job on them, or lowering their grade if they do abysmally by showing no effort. So I guess that's what my plan is right now. Carrot and stick approach, but not thinking strictly about points.untilnextstophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285583728476473117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651514617266100245.post-29340563393339132942012-04-26T00:09:36.349-04:002012-04-26T00:09:36.349-04:00Thought: Does it have to be graded?
