Extra Credit Activities

Tutoring | Student Activities and Entertainment

You may earn a maximum of 20 extra credit points unless the teacher says otherwise.

For 10 pts., you may attend an ACC student activity or event and then post a critique to the Student Lounge in Blackboard (between 100 and 300 words) describing and critiquing the event. Or you may attend plays, concerts, art exhibits, etc. that have opened within the last month (no movies) and earn 5 pts. after posting a critique to the Student Lounge in Blackboard.

You also have the option of earning a maximum of 5 pts. by submitting an additional writing assignment (poetry and short stories are fine) subject to approval by your instructor. Please contact the instructor first for approval.

All extra credit assignments must be completed by the date noted in the schedule!
