Prompt return of homework and or exams
It is difficult when allowing make up exams because you cannot hand back the ones already graded and that is not fair to the other students. I have figured that letting the students see their exams and requesting them back because the class still have a few people who need to take the exam works best.
However, when the makeup tie is then extended and extended, you want to be fair to all of your students but at some point the extenstions have to stop. How do you develop a clear cut this is all that will be allowed for makeups? There is always extenuating circumstances but there has to be a limit, right?
With my classes usually meeting only one day a week, it's a little harder for me to wait too long to hold assignments because the other students haven't yet completed their work or turned it in, for whatever reason.
I try to have a one week turn around for giving back papers or at least letting the students know what their grades were, for others that were absent, I most always have a second version of the activity that makes it a little harder and sometimes longer than what the students had to begin with. I have definitely seen an increase in attendance and getting work turned in on time.
Hi Angela:
Also, one of the advantages of evaluating and then reviewing a test with the group is that it might allow a student to gain a better understanding of the rationale they need to answer similar questions that will occur on future exams. Also, it might trigger new questions about the subject matter that will help to stimulate a better understanding of the concepts overall.

hi Kiera:
Outside of pre-existing institutional guidelines, institutions usually leave it to the instructor for allowing make-up work or not. That said, what does it teach the student if we allow them the chance to make-up assignments anytime they want?
Perhaps the best idea is a compromise – if we allow an assignment to be made up or turned in late, it should have a deduction in value.

My lab grading policy is as follows. If an activity is late due to student attendance or lack of effort during the alotted lab time, then points are deducted. However, sometimes a slower learner does not finish on time. If the individual comes to me for extra help, and works after class to complete the task, they are given full credit.
I teach a night class that only meets one night a week. I make it a priority to get exams back before they leave for the night, so if they have questions, they are still fresh in their mind.
Our school policy on make up exams is only one per qtr. per student, and with some sort of penalty, such as ten percent less of their score.
as an instructor of cosmetology.in the very beginning of the new cousre i would make sure that my student would get a syllubus of every thing to be expected in the curriculam. that would include being prompt with all assignments giving to them and also penalties for not having their assignments as well. thats how i would play a role of getting proper homework,and exams etc.done.
if you make the point clearer in the beginning of the course on being accurate about turning all assignments on time,and making sure that you state what the consiquinces will be behind it.the students will respect it and be prompt with there assignments.
I always try to give tests back at the next class meeting. Students want to know how they did right away.
I have a pretty strict make up policy that allows me to focus on the students’ progress in the class and not stop everything for a makeup test. I give a "make up" day after the final exam. No matter what test the student misses, whether it is test 1 or test 5, the student makes it up on the makeup day. The student is only allowed to miss one test- no matter the reason. This might seem strict but what I have found is that it allows students to return to the class and pick up where we are instead of being bogged down with makeup work. Also it serves as an incentive to not miss exams because students do not want to return after the final or have the burden of making up a test follow them to the end of the term.
Good idea of making sure students finish work before taking a make-up exam - might have to try that out :)
All of our exams are electronic so the student knows what they scored when completed. The students can only make up one test out of all the tests so they get to choose. Also, if the students are behind on their assignments, they do not get to take the next exam until all work is completed. Works great.
I agree with this. I try to give all grades back within one or two days. I try to give the students the different version of the test they missed the next day.
Feedback is the response to the stimulus. The closer the feedback to the assessment increases the learning level for the learner A delay provides little or no affect in correcting the misunderstanding. If a child crosses a street without looking and you wait to the next day, the child has no idea of why you are telling them not to cross the street.
