Supplemental Credit 

SUPPLEMENTAL CREDIT is *NOT* "extra credit." Supplemental credit
are points that can be applied toward a final grade of A. Obviously,
there won't be many opportunities offered, they will require more work
than extra credit, and the quality must be higher and the grader more
difficult. This is done because an A must be earned the "hard way."

**NOTE**: Supplemental credit can also be used for extra credit, but it will
be graded harder than extra credit.
If you do supplemental credit for extra credit, please be aware that
a paper that receives a 7 out of 10 (or 70 pct/C) on extra credit would
likely earn half that for supplemental credit.

Since you CANNOT use extra credit to move into the A range, this means you 
cannot combine extra credit and supplement credit for an A.

SUPPLEMENTAL CREDIT IS *NOT* AN ENTITLEMENT. IT REQUIRES MORE WORK FOR
FEWER POINTS ON A HARDER GRADING SCALE!
