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.

1.  Bonus points cannot increase a grade beyond 100%

2.  There is no limit on how many late fees you can erase
3.  Rewards can only be used once on a given assignment. For example, you cannot erase a late fee on your SARA presentation and then increase the grade by 5%  

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.

6.  To redeem bonus points, you must complete the Canvas assignment "Redeeming Bonus Points" by the last day of finals. Once redeemed, the action cannot be undone.
