The Idea:
The following online extra credit assignment can be used to earn 5 points on your exam. In order to receive full credit, assignments must be submitted before the deadline and show evidence of learning. (I’m basically trading you 5 points of information you learned outside of class for 5 points of information you didn’t know on the test – show be sure to have something to trade!)
This assignment should be about a page in length.
Total extra credit for both online and campus events is capped at 10 points (2 assignments) per exam. Extra credit does not carry over from exam to exam.
Instructions:

independent research organization.
