Students may participate in three separate extra credit opportunities- CHAT Sessions, Early Bird Forum Discussion Posts, and End-of-the-Semester Survey.
You may participate in a combination of any of the above extra credit opportunities, but your total extra credit may not exceed 10 points at the end of the semester.
These extra credit points will be recorded on a separate sheet and calculated at the end of the semester.

Students may participate in extra credit CHAT sessions held at least once a week.
Participation in the CHAT sessions is worth 1 point for a total of at least 5 points.
To earn each point you must come to the CHAT sessions prepared with questions and comments related to the assigned materials and related topics.
You must be engaged in "discussion", meaningful exchanges with the instructor and fellow classmates, for the majority of the 45 minute session. (You will not earn points by simply logging into the chat session without any meaningful engagement)

For each Forum Discussion assignment, you will have the option to submit your post earlier than the assigned date.
Each Early Bird Extra Credit is worth 1 point for a total of 5 semester points.
