We do not recommend this option because we believe a student should earn more points when they master the material at any time during the course than when they partially learn it. This is one of the options that we recommend. It provides an incentive for students to continue to try to learn the material even if they happen to fall behind the schedule while still rewarding those that did the work according to the stated schedule. Assign the same point value as when the unit is completed before the due date. This is one of the options that we recommend.
Students earn points whenever they learn the material.
The due dates become recommendations, not deadlines in this option. The drawback is that students may not use the learning tool to master the material when they need it most, before the examinations. The sixth box deals with work done after the due date whose percentage score is in the intermediate range, below passing but above the cut-off. Setting a point value close to those set for passing scores either before or after the due date is not recommend. If due date is not a consideration, the point value can be set equal to the point value for the intermediate range score achieved before the due date.
