For those of you who have missed some classes or some online responses, these extra-credit opportunities are a good way to make up those lost points. Each extra-credit assignment counts for one on-line response; if you have completed all of the assigned responses, then the extra-credit will offer a little “boost” to your attendance and participation grade, especially if it falls on the border between two grades. Post each extra-credit assignment to the online forum under the thread “Extra Credit” assignments.
All extra credit is due by midnight Wednesday, December 6.
