Extra Points

All absences are unexcused unless they are for an ISU sponsored. Students can complete the pre-approved extra point activities to earn a set maximum of points that can be used to offset the points they may potentially miss. These assignments need to be completed by the due date.

  • Terms & Definitions:
    • Handwrite the definitions of the terms found at the end of each unit.
    • Bring the handwritten term definitions with you to the lab week they are due.
    • If the student accurately defines the terms in their own handwriting for that unit, they will receive extra points per term list.
  • Calculating your grade:
    1. Download the Calculating your grade spreadsheet from Canvas.
    2. Enter your grade data each week following the directions in Canvas.
    3. During week 10 (Lab 10) of the semester, send your lab instructor the 'Calculating your grade' spreadsheet with your grade data through Lab 9 entered.
    4. If the students has entered their grade data correctly through Lab 9, they will be awarded 10 points.
