Archive | Extra credit

This is just a reminder that, in addition to the options given in this post, you may also write a 2-page summary and response of our guest lecturer’s talk on Yokohama, California.

For your accurate spelling purposes: our guest lecturer’s name was S. Moon Cassinelli.

This is worth an additional 5 points (a potential 1% increase in your grade) and can be turned in anytime before the end of the semester.

Those of you who are interested in extra credit may choose from the following:

• Browse U of I’s undergraduate literary journal Re:Search. Find an article you like, and write a 2-page summary and response (page 1 is the summary, page 2 is the response).

OR

• Attend one of the talks put on by the Center for Writing Studies or IPRH. Write 2-page a summary and review of the event. Be sure to include the date, the name of the speaker or host, and the title of the talk.

Whichever you choose, the assignment is with 5 points of extra credit; a potential increase in your grade by 1%. Partial credit is possible.
