This extra credit Assignment can be used at anytime throughout the semester. Credit will be given based on the quality of the work and will be added as a % to your lowest quiz score (from +10% to +100%).
For Example:
- an ok attempt will get you 10% added to your lowest current quiz score.
- an awesome attempt will have your grade raised to 100% on your lowest quiz score!
What you do
You have 2 choices:
1.) Find an article that discusses a current scientific finding that is directly related to what we are learning in class. If I can use the article as a warm up then you will get 100%.
2.) Create a review video for one of the topics we learn in class. If I can use the video as a review before the exam on that topic then you will get 100%. This project can be done with multiple people in multiple classes. Example Video

ReplyDeleteBy any chance, when you say quiz score do you mean any score in the Exam/Quiz category of the grade book? We've only had 2 quizzes for this semester so far and they're both only worth 5 points compared to its 40+ point comrade exams in the same category. If not any grade in the Exam/Quiz category, would you say this Extra Credit is unnecessary for those who already have exceptional quiz grades be it that it would barely affect their grade?
