Had a math teacher in high school that would add 5 points to your grade if you attempted to draw the Miami Dolphins football helmet. So this isn't that far off from that, and it is quite possible the teacher is just pretty cool.
In math class I had a question that went like :
5.a) prove something.
5.b) prove something else.
5.c) prove another thing.
5.d) from the above points deduce that *statement*.
I had 5minutes left, so I just skipped a b c (you are allowed to skip questions you can't do, and assume the results as true to keep solving the problem) and just wrote on 5d : "From *statements a b and c* we can deduce *statement*.
Got 0.5 points and a smiley face for that.
Cool teachers exist.
I gave my 9th/10th grade algebra students extra points all the time as a little bonus. I wouldn't boost them from an F to an A, but little stuff for generally hard-working students was always fun and made them work harder and boosted morale in the class.
