Projects & such
The following assignments should be turned in during class on each indicated day:

Late work will be penalized 10% for each day that it is overdue.
I will announce extra-credit opportunities in class from time-to-time. In many cases you will also find these posted on our weblog, or noted in the slides from that day's class. Look at each one and consider whether you want to give it a try. Every successful extra-credit submission will replace your lowest homework, classwork, or bellwork score. (Extra-credit work has no effect on projects, or quiz scores.)

Make-up work for a day’s absence is due the day following your return to class. If you complete it and turn it in on the first day you return to class, you will receive a 10% scoring bonus. Like other work, it will be penalized 10% for each day that it is overdue.
Oh, and here is a previous version of this page from the first quarter for your reference.
