These are the four ways to earn extra in ECE 209-L:
- Assignment Submission Policy
- Supplemental Instruction Sessions
- Completing additional Reading Response Papers (see page 1-2 of the Assignment Guidelines)
- Writing reviews of infant books
Assignment Submission Policy
You will receive 0.25 points of extra credit for each assignment that is handed in on during class on the day it is due. To receive 0.25 points of extra credit the following criteria must be met:
- Submit the assignment between 9 AM-12:40 PM on the date it is due
- You must bring a printed out hard copy of the paper to class
- This policy applies to all ECE 209-L written papers.
Assignments submitted after 12:40 PM on their due date should be handed in and will be accepted, but will not receive 0.25 extra credit points for on time submission
Supplemental Instruction Sessions
You will receive 0.25 points of extra credit for time you engage with the Supplemental Instructional Leader for our class. You can engage with our Supplemental Instructional Leader in the following ways:
- Supplemental Instruction Sessions: In person, by phone or using video chat (FaceTime, Google Hangout). You do not have to stay for the entire session to receive extra credit.
- Blackboard Supplemental Instruction Group: Ask questions to the Supplemental Instructional Leader on Blackboard to receive extra credit.
- Virtual Supplemental Instruction Sessions: These Supplemental Instruction sessions are held on-line, through BMCC’s Virtual Tutoring system.
Reading Response Paper #5
By completing Reading Response Paper #5 you can earn up to 5 points of extra credit. Reading Response Paper #5 should use an assigned course reading that was not used for Reading Response Papers #1-4 or an optional reading from Blackboard. Please see pages 2-3 for guidelines on writing a Reading Response Paper and the scoring rubric for a Reading Response Paper.
Writing Reviews of Infant Books
Another opportunity to earn extra credit is to review infant books from BMCC’s library, my personal connection, or the NYC Public Library system. A list of suggested titles will be offered posted on Blackboard. In class we will develop a scoring rubric for the assignment. The reviews will be published on the BMCC’s library website.
