Final Words on Grades

  • A reminder: All extra credit is to be completed (either handed in or e-mailed to me) no later than 11:00 a.m. on 12/2.

  • You can complete a total of 10 extra credit points (i.e. if you already have 4 points that means you can complete 6 more points).

  • The final exam is worth 10 points. We will review for that tomorrow (11/25) for anyone needing to take it.

  • You cannot "make up" work that you have not submitted previously or missed on a group activity day. You can take the final and/or complete extra credit but you cannot make up work that was previously due.
