To begin with, you can always ask brilliant questions in class for immediate extra credit. Knowing the answer might earn you some extra credit too, but it is better to ask some of the questions than know all of the answers.
During the quarter, these extra credit opportunities are available to you. Note that extra credit assignments are entirely voluntary; students are not required to participate in extra credit assignments. Points earned for extra credit are in addition to the base 200 possible points that can be earned during this course.
1. Read the Review Sheet prior to class that week. Mark it up with any questions or comments you might have and ask intelligent questions or make thoughtful comments during class. If you impress the instructor, including by answering these questions, you will earn an extra credit point.
2. Be a good Discussion Leader for a chapter or two of The Hobbit. Participation in class discussions and activities is always an opportunity to score a little extra credit.
3. Be a good critic of other's work when we analyze their documents and storyboards in class. The instructor will be keeping a watchful eye out for documented critiques that help shape and improve an original submission.
