Additional optional credit toward your grade beyond the expected
assignments, tests, etc., may be
obtained in several ways:
1. Use the
Student Response System (i>clicker) in class frequently. When you
use the clicker, your responses are anonymous in class but are tallied by the
system. You will receive 10 "clicker points" per week of participation
(5 pts for each class, if your section meets twice per week). At certain points in the semester, I will post your total
"clicker points" so far. This is not a score of the number correct; they
are participation points.
After the last day of classes, I will add extra credit
points to your course total points based on how many clicker points you have.

Extra-extra
Credit
The following can be used in addition to
the extra credit options presented above. |
|
I sometimes give extra-extra credit for
any web-ready images or animations OF YOUR OWN CREATION that I can use
in my learning outlines, study tips, web pages, or
other publications.
Examples include actual concept maps or concept
lists, photos of students engaging in the study activities described in
the study tips at
www.lionden.com/study_tips.htm , or other photos or cartoons
or diagrams that help illustrate the study tips or course concepts. This includes clear,
high-resolution medical images or photographs (only with the
subject's written permission).
The
amount of extra-extra credit is negotiable
up to 10 points, depending upon their usability for
my course and quality of the material. (Be sure to provide a
signed model release form for
any person depicted in your images and your signed permission granting
ownership of the content of the project to me.)
