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.

Terms and Conditions
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.
