Extra Credit

The homework assignments can look like a lot to manage, especially when you juxtapose them against the course project and poetry assignment. However, I have tried to make that more manageable by having dedicated class time to start on most of the assignments. Show up to get a head start on the homework assignments, and in some cases, they can likely be completed entirely in-class.

To further incentivize you to show up and work on the homework assignments sooner rather than later, you may obtain up to an additional 5% extra credit on homeworks 2-5 if you turn them in within 48 hours of the day that each respective assignment is started in class.
