Complete the Mandatory Orientation (& Remind.com sign-up) by Sept 22.
Important Note: If you take UNIT Exams on time you will receive extra credit points that will improve your grade. See "Extra Credit Points" under "Grading" for details. You can earn up to 400 points (40% of your course grade) for all four UNIT exams combined: 100 points for each regular UNIT exam.
UNIT Challenge Exams are optional and cover the same content as regular unit exams and the same due dates for "on-time" extra credit apply. However, you will receive a maximum of 175 points for UNIT Challenge exams, and zero MEL (MyEconLab) points in that UNIT so that you will receive the same points for the UNIT as if you had taken the regular UNIT Exam and completed the MEL assignments. Please alert me if you take any challenge exams, so I can adjust your points for that UNIT.
