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 three numbers:

number of points in the "Bonus Points" category + number of points in the "Module Quizzes" category + number of points in the "Quizzes on Videos" category 

 

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

4  You can only drop one module quiz

5.  Please do not ask me to figure out which actions will maximize your final grade. I am lousy at math.
