Per the SPRING 2012 Syllabus you may earn up to 30 (5%) Extra Credit Points.
If you have questions on any of the following
extra credit opportunities please contact me!
Check Back for more Opportunities throughout the term!
The earlier you turn in Extra Credit, the more likely you will get it back
& see how much more you have available to earn. You will thus have time
to gain more points.
Follow the Homework Handout for Submission Style.
You may use a variety of methods to report back what you learned: Word Document, Powerpoint, Collage, Video, Xtranormal, etc. (Check with me!)
You should report the following:
1. Explain what one would learn from the Extra Credit you selected. Be thorough and specific.
2. Explain what concepts in this course can be applied to the Extra Credit you selected. Again be
thorough & specific. Don't just give me a list! Tell me how! (NOTE: #1 & 2 can be combined)
3. Explain what you felt about the Extra Credit you chose. Did you find it valuable? How? Provide
examples of how you can apply this to your life (past, current or future).
Point values are the highest potential points you may earn with the selection.
The points you earn depends on the quality of answering the above questions.
