Note: Though the points students earn for doing these MyEconLab Homework Assignments and Quizzes will not figure DIRECTLY into their grade for the course, they will figure into their grade INDIRECTLY. The reason for this is that students cannot take the UNIT EXAMS or the Final Exam without working through these MyEconLab assignments. Students must make at least a 65% on each assignment before they can move on to the next assignment and eventually onto the UNIT EXAMS. For a listing of the Prerequisites for all the MyEconLab assignments and Blackboard exams see HERE.
Each Chapter Homework Assignment is worth up to 20 points. Students will have to make a 65% (13 of 20 points) on each to be able to move on the the associated Chapter Quiz. Each Chapter Quiz is worth up to 40 points. Students will have to make 65% (26 of 40 points) on these Quizzes to move on to the next Chapter Homework Assignment or to the UNIT EXAM. The points students earn on homework assignments on MyEconLab will be exactly the points recorded for Homework Assignments on the course's ACC Blackboard gradebook site. The same is true for the points earned on MyEconLab Quizzes. The Chapter Homework Assignments and Quizzes can be submitted after their due dates. The due dates are a guide to help you pace yourself through the course. There are rewards for keeping pace with these deadlines though. The UNIT Exams (Exam 1, Exam 2, Exam 3, and Exam 4) connot be taken if the MyEconLab assignments for the chapters in the UNIT have not been completed and passed with a grade of at least 65%. If students complete the MyEconLab assignments by the deadline for the UNIT Exams, they will earn 10 extra credit points. If students take their initial attempt on a UNIT Exam by its deadline, they will earn another 10 extra credit points. So that is 20 extra credit points for taking exams by their deadlines. Retests on UNIT Exams may be taken after the deadline without losing those extra credit points.

Extra Credit Tests on MyEconLab over chapters from
Miller's Economics Today: The Micro View
Students must make at least a 65% or better to earn any points on the tests.
If a student makes 65% 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 25
points.
For example, if a student made an 80% on the Extra Credit Test for Chapter 6,
I would record 20extra credit Type 2 points for that score (0.80*25=20).
However, if a student make a 64% on the Extra Credit Test for Chapter 6, then
I would record no extra credit Type 2 points for that score.
