Extra Credit Assignment

Extra credit is over and above the normal course credit.  This extra credit assignment is worth up to 50 points or 5% of your final grade.  These points will be calculated above and beyond the 1000 points that make up your final grade. Extra credit is considered to be an enriching experience both personally and academically. In order to receive extra credit all required assignments must be submitted.

If Learners choose to attend the Master Lecture Series or view an archived Master Lecture, they will receive 15 points by uploading the Certificate of Attendance. If Learners choose to submit a Reflection Paper on the lecture they viewed, they may be awarded up to an additional 35 points. For the Reflection Paper, Learners will prepare a 3-4 page summary of the content of the lecture and apply their acquired knowledge to their course. Please note that participants in the Master Lecture Series gain exposure to emerging trends within their industry.

Learners who attend the Master Lecture in person or online click the link to download the Certificate of Attendance http://www.calsouthern.edu/attendance-certificate/. This certificate would then need to be uploaded to the Activities of your course for your Mentor to award the points.

If Learners choose to view archived lectures of a former presenter in the Master Lecture Series, please use the following link, http://www.calsouthern.edu/content/category/events/. Learners will be able to download a Certificate of Attendance after viewing the video. This Certificate, http://www.calsouthern.edu/attendance-certificate/, along with the 3-4 page Reflection Paper, will then be required to be uploaded to the activities page of the course syllabus.

If Learners choose to attend an outside workshop, seminar or conference, the proof of Registration as well as a reflection paper should be submitted. See above for further instructions.

Additionally, Learners may submit a Position Paper as their Extra credit Assignment.

A Position Paper differs from a traditional paper in that it includes one’s opinions, viewpoints, feelings, and the evidence that supports them. The main purpose for this activity is to understand an issue better by researching all sides of the issue thoroughly. It will allow you to use your critical thinking skills to analyze the different arguments of an issue and then articulate you own position on the issue.

Prepare a 3-4 page Position Paper on a specific topic of interest that is related to the course content, but was not covered in this course. Provide examples where appropriate and express opinions with research to substantiate. You are encouraged to utilize California Southern University’s Online Library and/or the Internet.

In completing the Extra Credit Assignment, your responses must be comprehensive in using terminology and/or concepts presented in the lecture. Use APA formatting that includes double-spacing, 12-point font with one inch margins. Be sure to cite your resources and provide the references using APA format. All extra credit assignments may be submitted to TurnitinR for review and verification.
