Extra Credit and Revue Opportunities If you are interested in earning extra credit and/or in preparing for the semester exams, I will be scheduling time in the computer lab during selected flex times at the end of the 2nd and 4th marking periods for work on the WORLD VIEW history program. The three modules of the program are listed below. If all you want to do is review, you can do any of the program modules you want. If you want to earn extra credit you will need to take the WORLD VIEW review tests and submit the tests to me. Each test must be a minimum of 20 questions and can be worth ½ point on your marking period grade (up to a maximum of 5 points). See Mr. Kidera for an instruction sheet. |
