Individual Assignments
There are graded assignments that you will turn in individually, even if we work on them together in class to a large degree.
Bonus opportunities
Throughout the quarter you will be given opportunities to earn extra credit at your discretion. Extra credit points will be added to your total points in the Individual Assignments category, and there is no upper limit on extra credit possible. On every assignment, you can earn extra credit by providing additional, useful content on your assignments at the discretion of the grader. Other opportunities will be given as the quarter progresses.
