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 "chapter segment quizzes" category.
DO NOT add up the %. You must add the actual points.
