Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoOur teacher offered extra credit to anyone who chose to memorize it. It was crazy too, I almost considered trying it since it didn’t seem that hard. The extra credit was enough to affect 20 percent of the grade. Then I realized most people who would try it are probably just smart enough to get an A already anyways, I know I was.

In my school extra credit like that was mostly for the smart people who dicked around a lot or had difficult home lives and missed tests. That way if you needed to shore up some grades you could get it done outside the normal study routine

Yea definitely shout out to those teachers.
I recall having a teacher who said that as long as a student was legitimately trying regardless of anything the teacher would always give them more extra credit so they could reach whatever grade they wanted to aim for. You could tell he legitimately loves teaching kids and would light up whenever a kid who had been struggling finally understood something.

I had a teacher that the first day told us “my ratio of approved students is 99% and I’m not gonna lower it because of you”. A great teacher.
The next year the one that gave us the same thing told us “how many of you didn’t pass last year?”. Nobody answered because everyone passed. “This year won’t be the same” was his reply. A SHITTY teacher. The worst one I’ve had in all my live.
