As the semester progresses, I will offer some extra credit opportunities. Extra credit options will generally be worth 10-20 points each. However, any student may use one extra credit assignment to “cancel out” an unexcused absence. There is no limit to how many extra credit assignments any student may do.

All extra credit is due on the date listed. No extra credit will be accepted late for any reason. Note: my extra credit assignments are usually fun, but more work than the daily assignments for the course.

• Convergence 2 at the School of the Art Institute
  Attend one of the Convergence 2 events at the School of the Art Institute and write a short summary about it. See this assignment page for details.
• Creative Non-Fiction Week (http://www.colum.edu/cnfw)
  Attend an event associated with Creative Non-fiction week and take careful notes on it. Afterward, write a 500-word (2 page) reflection essay on the event. Don't tell me what happened, but rather something interesting that you learned from the event. In particular, I would be interested to hear how you think the event might be influenced or changed by a concerted effort to include new media. Reflection essays should be posted in the appropriate OASIS forum space by class on 25 October.
