Also, I want to give students another opportunity to raise their grade before the end of the first quarter. I am thinking of giving an optional assignment that will count as a test grade. If students elect to do the assignment, they will have a chance to raise their grade before report cards. If they decide not to do it, it will not count against them. This is not "extra credit", but instead an "extra opportunity" to earn a high test grade.
This will be an "at home" assignment and will be completely independent from what we are covering in class. I will have more details by the end of the week
