Extra Credit Assignment

There are now officially 5 weeks of classes left. As I mentioned in class, you have the opportunity to receive the full 10% of your blog grade. If you have not been posting on your blog on a weekly basis, here is the opportunity to get the points that you are missing.

I have already begun to see your blog entries exactly along with the dates posted and whether they have been posted on a weekly basis or not. If you are missing one or two or five posts (meaning you haven't posted anything so far), for every post you are missing, you must go through the blogs, find a classmate (from either sections of this course) who has the same topic [if it is impossible to find the same exact topic then you can find a person who is also, like you, is doing it on a topic other than the list I gave] and post a comment. So, you will post a comment to one of their blog entries (the same amount you would put as a blog entry meaning at least 4-5 sentences/lines). For every comment you make, I will count it as one blog entry (that you may be missing). Remember, by the last week of classes, you must have 10 blog entries in total.

However, if you are already up to date with your blog entries, you can still take advantage of this extra credit assignment. You must post 5 comments in total (4-5 sentences/lines each) for different people if you wish, one of those people must be someone doing the same topic as yourselves. As a reward, I will add one full grade to your FINAL grade. This means, if your final grade comes to a B+, you will get an A-. If your final grade is a B-, you will get a B. If your final grade is a B, you will get a B+ and so on. One full grade. Remember, this "reward" is only for people who are already up to date with their blogs thus far and do not need extra points to get that full 10%!

You may email me or post a comment to this blog if you do not understand something or just ask me in class next week. I will see you all on Monday/Tuesday. Don't forget your outlines are due today by 5pm!


Best,
Ginger
