CB> mastery (usually this means 80%+ accuracy).  With classes of
CB> 25 and more students per class, I can't afford the time to
CB> hold students back, but I *do* offer the chance to come in
CB> for additional help and to take a make-up exam.  The make-up
CB> test is never the same test (though it is parallel in
CB> structure and content) and the second grade counts (I throw
CB> out the first grade).  I offer no other opportunities for
CB> extra-credit.  The opportunity to re-take a test
I follow a similar procedure. Technology can be helpful here. If 
a student doesn't meet minimum competency, they must retake 
test/activity. I require they do some additional practice 
activity before trying the test. Then the test can be taken at 
their convenience via computer. The computer stores the grade 
for processing at a later date. I average the score on the first 
take of the test and they highest retake score.
