Extra Credit Policy: In any given course, the combined maximum benefit of extra credit should be limited to one letter step (e.g. B+ to A-, C- to C). Extra Credit is a useful tool when used in moderation (to make up for an absence, a missed lab, etc.), but it should not be used in place of a student exhibiting mastery in the subject matter of a course. Extra credit assignments should directly relate to the content and practices of the course.
