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 "Lecture Video Quizzes" category + number of points in the "Quizzes on Videos" category
DO NOT add up the %. You must add the actual points.
