EVENTS
You may attend up to three events for extra credit. Please write 1-2 pages (single-spaced) about the event (what was significant, important, noteworthy? what did you learn?) and turn in to me; you will earn up to 1% (depending on quality of write-up) of your total class grade for each event. As one of the three extra credit events, you may view one documentary or lecture online or on video on climate change and write about that (note that relevance to climate change will also be part of your score).
