EnrichmentAll enrichment assignments are worth 10 % points added to your grade. For example, on 100 pt tests they are worth 10 pts. On 30 pts check-ups they are worth 3 pts. Values will be rounded. Your project must be thorough, in-depth, accurate, and complete to earn the full amount of points. They will NOT be accepted after the due date for any reason!
All typed assignments must meet these requirements:
Also, for research assignments you must cite your sources. Do not think about copying and pasting. I will be copying and pasting your papers into a plagiarism website to make extra sure you didn't snitch anything from the net. And if you do, you will be busted. So busted. Will result in Saturday School and not being able to complete future enrichments.
Assignments in italics are past the due date and won't be accepted.
