Contests and challenges

Extra Credit is not an option, however, occasionally, contests and other opportunities for enrichment arise. The options are listed here along with the due dates.

Please note that the due dates are FINAL and will NOT be extended for ANY REASON. Points will be given based on quality and adherence to the rules of the contest.

Challenges and contest entries may NOT be used to substitute for the completion of assignments. They are designed to help enrich your experience in class and to provide some extra points in case you have a poor evaluation or assessment.


Contests - Must be turned into the instructor. Entries will be sent after forms are completed and entries varified for completion and adherence to the rules.

Challenges

Challenges are assignments that help extend the learning we have started in class. You may only complete one challenge and enter one contest for credit during a semester. You may enter as many contests as you wish. The instructor will send in all the entries and help with the completion of the applications (if needed). Any challenges completed must be turned in by Friday, June 10th for credit. If the assignment is not a quality assignment, it will not be counted. Assignments are worth up to 30 points.

Challenge - Second Trimester

Supplies

Facial Tissue, tennis balls (for the chairs), baby wipes (with no aloe) will all allow some extra points. No more than 10 pts for each reporting period (i.e. 20 pts max per trimester).
