POL 4190: SENIOR SEMINAR
THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES
Spring 2004
Course-related Extra Credit
In most of my courses you can get extra credit for various things like finding
errors in the text, etc. A description of that kind of extra credit
appears here. In some courses, however,
like this one, you can get extra credit points for doing things related to
the course. These are listed below, along with their extra credit value.
I will add things as the semester goes along, both as I think of things and
as you suggest things to me.
- Attend one of the talks sponsored by the Center
for Ethics and Public Policy. [1 pt]
- Dealer's Choice: Convince me that something you want to do is worth
extra credit. However, the project must be related to the subject
matter and/or purpose of the course. [Potentially unlimited points]
Each extra credit is worth 1/20 of a letter grade -- 20 extra credit points
would raise your grade from a C+ to a B+. The credit values aren't
huge, but my intention is not to pay you to participate in something you
wouldn't really like doing; I'm simply acknowledging in a concrete
way that you're thinking and learning outside the confines of the course.
You cannot accumulate more than 15 extra credit points.
