Extra Credit Opportunity
As mentioned in class, I am providing an opportunity to earn up to 2.00% of the final course grade as extra credit. In other words, if you end up with an unadjusted grade percentage of (say) 88%, this would provide you the opportunity to earn a final, adjusted grade of up to 90%. The grading for the additional 2.00% will be as follows:
• Up to 1.00% for reasonable responses to the following questions. This does not mean you have to study each page of your selected paper from those provided, but you will have to read it with enough care so as to provide answers that demonstrate you considered both the paper and related questions below.
• Up to another 1.00% for thoughtful and insightful answers that “wow” me. This is a completely qualitative measure of your answers.
There is no page count requirement. In fact, shorter, more concise answers are best. In many ways, it is much more challenging to create something unique with less page count…
There are currently five papers housed in the Resources section of T-‐square. Please pick one of the five to work with. You are also welcome to find others, but please pre-‐approve any alternate choices with me prior to starting.
Questions to answer:
1. What is the problem that the project is trying to answer? 2. Why do the authors suggest the problem is important? 3. How do the authors approach addressing the problem? 4. What are the results? 5. How does the project relate to what you have learned in this class (or any other of your
classes)? 6. What are some implications that you learned in reading the paper that might affect your
career? In other words, what did you learn that you could use in the future? 7. Any questions you have after reading the paper and/or anything you found particularly
interesting?
The EC is due into T-‐square on Tuesday, December 9th at 11:59pm.
