Re: test grades



Whatever you said or put out on the first day of class, you had better hold
to it, especially if it is written in your syllabus.
Bounce the problem off the department head or someone whose "been there and
done that" a million times.
Whatever you do, you live with t. You get a "reputation" for whatever you
enforce and whatever or however you run your courses.
The instructor refreshers I have been to, emphasize making things clear in
your syllabus, spelling it out during the first class and then sticking to it.

If you start out real lax, the students will be lax.

If you start out holding to a standard the standard will be respected.

If you hedge on your standard, err on the side of "compassion".
