| Extra Credit Opportunities |
Note: by successfully completing FIVE
FOUR (or more) of these
extra credit opportunities by Wednesday December 8th your final grade will be
increased by a third of a letter grade, i.e. from B+ to A-. Doing less
than FIVE FOUR will earn no extra credit. There will be
between 6 and 10 SIX extra credit
opportunities throughout the semester. If there are less ECOs, then the "magic
ECO barrier" will be lowered to HALF the number of total ECOs available (rounded
up).
All ECO's must be completed by the
last day of class (Wed Dec 8).
No one source of ECO can be a majority of your ECOs.
