As in previous trimesters, you can do an extra credit project on a biology topic you're particularly interested in. You must get pre-approval by the teacher before beginning (to determine the appropriateness of the project focus and depth), but the difference is that this trimester all projects must be submitted as presentations to the whole class, not simply as a paper. Presentations must be pre-screened by the teacher before presented in front of the whole class (so, no last-minute extra credit can done on the last day of school).
You can earn up to 10 points added to a test or quiz score. The presentation will be scored according to the following categories:
Presentation skills (5): Length (2), Overall Quality (2), References (1)
Biology (5): Accuracy (2), Depth (2), Appropriate vocabulary (1)
Please talk to Mr. Herlands as soon as possible if you are considering doing an extra credit project.
Good luck!
