Extra Extra ... Credit That Is!
*** You will have the opportunity to earn up to 100 extra credit points throughout each quarter. These points may be added directly to the scores of selected assignments. For example, if you earn a 75 on a homework assignment and wish to add 10 points from your extra credit to it, your score would then be an 85 instead. Extra credit opportunities will be announced and posted as they arise.
