10 Points.
What if everything in my classes, all the assignments that is, was worth 10 points?
Why would I do that? Because students seem less worried about something worth that much.How could it work? The papers and projects would be graded as normal, but it would be tougher to get 10 full points out of the deal. So, those daily assignments would REALLY be helpful & uber necessary to pass... Huh.It just occurred to me as I was assessing the first batch of assignments in my online classes. (The WL240 class is already assessed... working on the Eng120 ones.)

That's so funny that you are thinking that. I recently considered making everything worth ten times as many points, to make the students take things more seriously!
@ChubEchpmnk - Yeah... I don't know what is a better plan. As it is, their small assignments are worth between 10-25 points & the larger papers and projects are 50-150. It's something to ponder, I guess...
