Projects & such

The following project assignments should be turned in during class on each indicated day:

Day
Assignment
  
#
8/26 Digital Passport complete all three tasks 1
8/29 Syllabus Acknowledgment turn in with both signature + info 2
9/9 Personal Spending Record for Money & Me 3a
9/19 Money & Me final report estimate and construct
a detailed monthly budget		 3b

Late work will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue. The formula used is:

\[adjusted\;score = {0.95^{days\;late}} \times original\;score\]

Extra-credit opportunities may be announced in class from time-to-time. In many cases you will also find these posted online: for example, noted in the slides from that day's class. Look at each one and consider whether you want to give it a try. Every successful extra-credit submission will replace your lowest homework, classwork, or bellwork score; but it does not replace a missing or poor project assignment. (And extra-credit work has no effect on projects, or quiz scores.)

Make-up work for a day’s absence is due the day following your return to class. If you complete it and turn it in on the first day you return to class, you will receive a 5% scoring bonus. Like other work, it will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue; computed using the formula above.
