Extra Credit Requests
10 pts possible

Extra credit must be requested by the student and also completed and turned in, consistent with the time frame listed in the course syllabus.

Assignment:

The student will write a 2 – 4 page response paper (typed, double spaced, 10 – 12 pt font) on an article(s) chose by the instructor. 

It is expected that the paper’s contents will cover the following areas as applicable:

•	Brief summary of the article
•	The student’s response to the content of the article – supported as appropriate by course content or personal observation and experience.  If the response is based on personal observation or experience, the author should also explain how they might try to verify or prove their belief empirically.  
o	A reference page should be used if citing information outside the article or course text/ lectures.
•	Any questions or conclusions with which the student is left after reading the article(s).

Grammar and spelling do count, as well as the amount of thought and effort perceived to have gone into the response section.

Any questions may be directed to the instructor.
