E-Text Extra Credit: You can earn 30 points extra credit by answering questions in your e-book. The deadline is the last day of lecture, which is also the day before the Reading Day. Do you know other courses where you can earn extra credit by actively reading your text? Borderline cases (within reason) are determined by me based on your attendance record, assignments, Final Exam performance, and whether you did Extra Credit.

Borderline cases (within reason) are determined by me based on your consistency in working on all the labs. I can throw in some points if you have obtained over "23 happy faces" in each lab.
