Note: For grading purposes, I will award up to 25 points for each homework assignment and up to 50 points for each quiz. On MyEconLab the points for the homework assignments and quizzes differ from the points I will be assigning. On MyEconLab the points for homework assignments quizzes are always 100 points (or 100%). MyEconLab reports the percentage correct you have made on the homework and the quizzes. I take those percentage grades and multiply them times 25 points and 50 points for the homework assignments and quizzes respectively, and I record the results of these calculations as points in the Blackboard gradebook.

Extra Credit Tests on MyEconLab over chapters from
Miller's Economics Today: The Micro View
Students must make at least a 70% or better to earn any points on the tests.
If a student makes 70% or better on an Extra Credit Test, I will take the percentage
correct the student made on such a test and multiply that percentage times 50
points.
For example, if a student made an 80% on the Extra Credit Exam for Chapter 6,
I would record 40 extra credit Type 3 points for that score (0.80*50=40).
