    1. Register your intention by filling out the form.
    2. Complete each of your chosen gems by midnight of the deadline you specified.
    3. Whenever you complete a specific gem, turn that report from the requirements section in using the submission form. You should submit a pdf document. Each gem should have its own report.

    1. Once you register a triplet of gems, you can earn one percentage point in your final grade if you complete all three on time. If you only complete two, your grade won't be impacted. However if you only complete 1 (or none), you will lost a percentage point of your final grade. Do not commit to do them if you are unsure if you will complete them.
    2. Each gem can only be done for one class. So if you are taking more than one class from Dr. Bareiss, pick carefully which grade you want impacted by that triplet.
    3. The form requires you to pick a gem for each of the three categories. That is on purpose
    4. Don't forget that you can use all of them to do better without any risk to your grade. Just don't register them.
    5. You must register your participation by midterm.
    6. You can register up to five times.
    7. I highly recommend you start with the ones where you need to most help. However this is up to you.
