Extra Credit
There is up to 50 p0ints of extra credit available to students each grading period. The only stipulation is that the student must have all other assignments completed to be eligible for extra credit. If there is any outstanding work, students can turn that in late for 1/2 credit at any time during the grading period, also making themselves eligible for extra credit opportunities. See the extra credit worksheet to explore all the extra credit options. Students can mix and match the various options, but can do only one of each option per quarter.
