RECORD YOUR EXTRA CREDIT IN MOODLE:
Instructions given in class. 

• EXTRA CREDIT (and as announced during the semester)
  Extra Credit submitted using Moodle (instructions given in class).  Extra Credit accepted only through the month of November for the fall semester, and through the month of April for the spring semester.  Extra credit assignment write-ups must be received by these dates.  It would be unfair to others in the class if I were to accept late assignments.  Please plan accordingly.  Also, be sure to use your own library card in signing in for the videos.  Maximum number of points from all extra credit combined is not to exceed half a letter grade for the class.
