Extra Credit Opportunities
Rationale: Your professor offers extra credit for several reasons:  An incentive to learn more than what
is presented in lecture or your textbook; an opportunity to earn points to compensate for performance
on an exam where you were less prepared than usual; an opportunity to gain practical experience that
might broaden your perspective with respect to future goals and interests; an opportunity to apply in a
practical way the concepts you have learned in psychology.  Please note that these are not projects that
one can expect to complete in one evening.  You should expect to devote at least as much effort and
time as would be required to earn a passing score on a weekly exam.
