There were a few ways this was different; as an example, we used ‘high expectations, low stakes’- we allowed students to retake any assignment as many times as they liked, but their grade for the entire class was basically the lowest grade they got on any assignment.
Holistically, yes. But they are free to fail any given assignment any number of times- in fact, many would sign up to take quizzes before studying, as a preview of what the assessment would look like and a way to rapidly jump through sections they might have studied elsewhere.
Isn’t that a high stake situation?
