EUROS are bonus points that you receive in many different ways...raising your
hand to participate, getting an answer correct when called on, winning a
challenge, etc. These points are added into the grade book at the end of exam
week, and they are added over zero points. That means they can only help your
average. Some students have achieved as many as 40 in a quarter. The average
is about 10. So, get those hands in the air and do some extra credit!
Extra Credit...
IMPORTANT: IF ANY MAJOR TEST OR PROJECT (50 points) IS NOT COMPLETED, EXTRA
CREDIT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR THAT 9 WEEKS
The following are available to do during any quarter. They will be due
during exam week.
ANY EXTRA CREDIT DONE WILL EQUAL AN ADDITIONAL 15 EUROS!!!!
