Extra Credit Questions (3 points per week)

• Due at lecture on Mondays
• To earn credit your answers must be complete, neat and readable (If I cannot read your writing you will have to type it to get credit)
• Put your Name and Section number on your answer sheet
• No points will be given if late

Most questions involve searching for information and are delayed relative to the lectures that they belong to. In most cases you can choose between two alternatives. In these cases you will only get credit for A or B - not both. There are no extra credit questions for the week before final exams - spend your time revising!
