Projects
You can do an 'extra credit project' if you want to try and improve your grade. In previous years, most students have choosen to write a paper; however, I will accept other projects such as videos, paintings, poems, photos, etc.
Be creative in choosing your extra credit project. Make sure the project relates to some topic we discussed in class. Topics in the past have ranged from the weather experiences of a firefighter to comic book heroes. I KEEP WHATEVER YOU TURN IN!
Many students will do an extra credit project. Only a few will improve their grades. In the past, the extra credit project improved the grade of about 10% of the those students who turned one in. So don't count on it bringing up your grade. The key to a good project is that it be well written, creative, related in some way to class material and it teaches me something. We will talk more about projects in class.
