Invariably at some point in the course, I get requests from people about the possibilities of doing extra credit work. Therefore, an opportunity for students to obtain extra credit will be made available to everyone in the form of some additional questions. These questions will be posted with the examination. The points you earn will be added to your total score. This is the only extra credit opportunity students will have.
Online courses are very convenient for students.
But convenience should not be equated with being easy. I will insist on the same level of quality from online students as I do in a regular course. It is not my intention to punish people or to deliberately make things difficult. By the same token, students should not think that an online course is an excuse for neglect of academic responsibility. Please be prepared to conscientiously work and give this course the attention it deserves.
