For courses I teach, I allow students to use their score on the comprehensive final exam (that covers all material in the course) to replace midterm exam scores that they did poorly on. If they know the material by the end of the semester (isn’t that our goal as instructors?), shouldn’t their grade reflect that? I seem to be the only instructor that has this policy.

@Ferris_vball I used to have a professor that allowed students to ‘gamble’ before taking the final exam. Students could choose to use final exam score to replace all other scores such as midterm or quizzes but they had to decide before taking the final exam 😂
