Terms and Conditions

 

To opt out of the final exam OR take the final and drop it later, you MUST have at least 350 points.  To do this, you must complete the "redeeming bonus points" Canvas assignment by the due date.

​

For every 50 points you have in your balance at the end of the semester, I will increase your grade by 1% up to a maximum of 5%

​​

HOW DO I TRACK MY BONUS POINTS?

​

Go to the class in Canvas and click on "grades". Scroll down to the end of the page. Add together two numbers:
 

number of points in the "BONUS POINTS activities" category + number of points in the "Module Segment Quizzes" category. 

 

DO NOT add up the %. You must add the actual points.

* Meaningful responses to posts - summer students only

​

Non-meaningful responses are those that do little to expand the discussion in constructive or helpful ways. Some examples include saying things like "Cool", "I agree", "I disagree", or "Maybe try something different".

 

Meaningful responses are those that are relevant and specific to the post, and that provide: i. suggestions or examples to help futher understand/explore the topic ii.  additional information that provides a different interpretation or new perspective on the information,  or iii. implications of the information in the post. Make sure you read through the discussion thread to be relevant and not duplicate someone else's response.

​

Responses MUST be polite and respectful! To be mindful of people's time, please be concise.

​

Important: If you respond multiple times to the same person's post - this is great! However, you will only earn 5 points. If you want to earn more points in any given week, you need to respond to OTHER students' posts. For each additional student, you will earn an additonal 5 points.
