Here's a chance to earn easy points on your semester grade.
Complete a GEM, or Go the Extra Mile assignment.
It's very simple. All you need to do is the following.
1. Watch any of the following videos listed here. To do this, you will need your Power Media Plus Account. The video should be related to the topics we're working on in class. After you view the video Complete the Supplemental Podcast/Video Form
2. You may also Read and generate notes from the quarterly on-line journal http://www.historynow.org/past.html. Complete the supplemental reading form.
How can I use my GEMs?
1. If you have missed HW assignments, GEMS will be used to give you credit for missed assignments. One Video, or Reading GEM will take the place of a missed HW.
2. If you are not missing any HW assignments, you can use your GEMS to earn semester grade points. A maximum of 7.5 points may be earned.
3. You may use GEMS to earn "OMITS" or the right to leave questions blank on exams. ONE Video GEM or one Reading GEM will give you one omit (maximum of FIVE per exam).
4. You may replace missing assessment pieces; i.e. major projects. In other words, if you missed a project, or paper, you may complete GEMS to take their place. Five video GEMS, or Three reading GEMS will take the place of a missing assessment piece. Please note that the GEMS will only be used to give you credit for completing the assignment. In other words, you won't have a ZERO counting against you.
