I grade students to the expected level of the class they are taking.

I offer no extra credit. I take no points off for attendance. If you're in college, it's your choice to show up or not.

The emails I get from parents about their "snowflake" needing extra credit are hilarious....the lies the kids make up are even funnier.

You earn an F, you get one. You earn an A, you get one. If some moron in the class is dumb enough to ask for a curve, I give them a bell curve!

Beyond a class that requires participation/discussion like Critical Theory or something, I don't understand strict attendance rules. If I know I need to come to class to learn (like in a foreign language), I'll come. If I can make an A without coming, why do I deserve a B because you decide you want me in class that I don't need to attend and punish me for it?

It was fine my first couple years of college, but they really got weird as time moved on.
