How much extra credit is being offered?
Depending on the amount of criteria met, the amount of extra credit a teacher gives may vary. Some teachers, such as those teaching U.S. History, are allowing a maximum of one point on a student's average each cycle. Other teachers are distributing extra credit on a case by case circumstance.
