Extra Credit
There are a number of ways to earn extra credit in this class. We encourage all of you to do some of the extra credit assignments if you have the time and inclination - extra credit is a great way to give yourself a bit of flexibility if you have missed a quiz or a discussion section or bombed an exam. Remember, you may earn UP TO 50 POINTS of extra credit, which is equivalent to half a letter grade in this class. If you have an idea and don't see anything similar in the following options, talk to your discussion leader to see if your idea will work.
You can earn a maximum of 50 extra credit points through any combination of the options listed below. Extra credit will be added to the total cumulative grade. You can turn in the extra credit any time in the semester, but all extra credit is due by May 9.
You can earn up to 25 points of extra credit by attending a university or professional theatre production (no high school or community theatre) and writing a 2 page review of the production. If we haven't included info on it in class or on this website, be sure to get prior approval for the play from your discussion leader and to include a program and ticket stub with your review. You can also earn up to 25 points by reading a play in your anthology (it cannot be one already assigned for the course or the play you choose for your performance project) and writing a 2 page response paper that considers how the play fits in with the topics we have addressed in class.
Extra credit points may also be distributed at the discretion of the professor or discussion leaders for extraordinary contributions to class. We are open to other extra credit options; if you have any ideas, please check with your section leader. Remember, extra credit is not supposed to be easy. If it was, everyone would get all of the points. Students are not guaranteed the maximum number of points for each option. Full points are reserved for exceptional effort and work.
