---+++Assignments
   1. Reactions to current events/publications.  A reaction to an article includes enough to convince me that you have read the entire article and not just the headline or first paragraph.  It should include s summary of what was said and your reaction.  Be sure to give a complete reference to the item.  These should be turned in as a hard copy in class within one week of the item being published.  You may pick when.  Each one does have a deadline. These must be unique to this course
      a. Write a reaction to one article in the ACM !TechNews.  This needs to be completed by midterm.
      a. Write a reaction to one article in XRDS.  This needs to be completed before the final.
   1. Other assignments or quizzes as assigned.
---+++Extra credit
To be eligible for extra credit you must be attending class 80% of the time (according to when you turn it in).  If you are in sports that causes you to miss class, you should not be missing class on any of the other days.<br><br>
There are three types of extra credit available:
   1. Extra credit for an assignment or exam.  This will be if I determine to offer the entire class some credit for improving work on a given item.  This will be used to raise the grade on that item.  Details will be given in class when/if this happens.
   1. The [[CollegeGems][College Gems]].  This can have a direct impact on your grade.  See that page for more details
   1. Extra credit that will be used at the end of the class to decide if I should "bump" you up to the next mark.
      a. There may be events that I give extra credit for attending.  To earn this, you must attend the event (in person unless otherwise stated) and write a 1/2 page summary of what was said.  This is to be turned in as a hard copy within 3 working days of the event.
      a. Do a reaction to an article in the Communications of the ACM
