Extra Credit Policy

There are fifty three (53) points of extra credit possible in the course. A total of thirty three (33) may be earned by regular class room attendance. An additional ten (10) points may be earned in lab by completing additional color plates as assigned.

You may earn an additional five (5) points by a blood donation to the Central California Blood Center only. If you are able to donate blood or can get someone to donate for you and submit proof of the donation then you will receive five (5) points. If you bring in at least five (5) snails for our lab on mollusks then you will earn five points also.

Do not ask for any additional extra credit beyond which is already offered by this course. Extra credit is extra work, not only for you but for the instructor who has to grade it. I am not interested in any additional work beyond that which the course requires.
