Final Presentation – due 3/9 (10 points) -- 1 ½ - 2 minutes -- Choose any of the information you’ve personally
gathered, including your interview. You can use a visual aid, but you do not have to. Extra Credit is available (up to 10
points) for those who get creative with their presentation. Extra credit presentations will probably be longer.
Quest Score Replacement:
For every ten points that you desire to replace, you will need to complete an extra assignment (on top of the required
assignments) selected from the ‘Your Choice’ section. For example, let’s say you received a 13 on a Quest. For the
required assignment you would have to two articles (or the one chapter.) Let’s say you chose to do Ch.2 as your
assignment. For your Quest replacement, if you did one Article (and get full credit for it), that would give you a 23
instead of a 13. If you did two Articles (two different subjects), that would give you 33. You cannot get more than a 40
on a Quest, so if you did one more article (a total of three different subjects/Articles) you would have a 40 out of 40 on
that Quest. Note, Ch.2 of Admission is worth 20 points.
BEWARE OF PLAGERISM!
I will be monitoring people who ‘accidently’ use the same article. I do have articles on some of these areas and some of
you can use them. First come, first served. There can be some overlap, but not in the class cliques. Be careful not to
cheat off one another or you will receive zeros for all your articles! Also, be sure not to just copy the article directly. I
have seen many samples of your writing quality so I can easily tell if there is a difference. Do not plagiarize this way or
you will receive zeros.
