Extra Effort
Extra Effort is my phrase for "extra credit" opportunities. Classwork and assessments should reflect understanding of content and classroom participation. If a student wants to see extra points, the responsibility is on them to put in Extra Effort.
Students can earn a maximum of 50 Extra Effort points per semester. These points are applied to the Process Grade category in the gradebook at the end of the semester. However, the final due date for Extra Effort will be roughly two weeks before the end of the semester.
As a reminder, the Process Grade category is worth 20% of the total grade.
