In both traditional and in the online class room I set rules to allow students to develop their critical thinking and their skills. I provide instruction in economics to freshmen in traditional setting and in economics to mostly part time working adults. All of my re-submissions and additional work remains within the institution's policy. I allow students redo and resubmit if the reason for the poor performance is poor math or poor statistical skills. I hold student accountable for missing "the purpose of the assignment" and for a clear disregard for writing standards. My online institution provides additional assistance with students that need tutoring in math and writing. When I allow students to redo, I provide limited comments and ask them to engage "me" as they redo their work. Every student is different; the identical comment for the same mistake is not always appropriate across students... why? each student is at a different level of development
