A now-retired colleague of mine said that "extra" credit work would only make sense after successful completion of the expected work. A student who is failing isn't doing the expected work.
On the other hand, an unusually high percentage of failures suggests that something might be going on that affects even the highly-motivated students. One tactic that some of our faculty have used is to do a mid-semester course evaluation that asks students what the instructor could do differently, and what the *students* could do differently, to improve learning.
