Activities Overview

Overview of Point Bearing Activities: Grades are calculated as a percentage of 1000 possible points. Points can be earned in the categories listed here. All these activities are point-valued toward the final grade, and, as such, are graded. Guidelines and descriptions of activities are found in the Syllabus on the page noted in parentheses after the name of each activity.  Extra credit opportunities and additional activities (non-point bearing) are in the bottom of the table.
