scroll toward the bottom you will see “bonus point opportunities”. You may do as many or as few of these as you wish but to receive credit they

** The make-up exam (offered in week 16) is your only opportunity to make up for a missed exam or a low score on an exam. It can not hurt you, it can only help you.
The make up exam is optional; you do not have to take it if you do not wish to. The make up exam can only replace Exam 1, 2 or 3. It cannot replace your final exam.
***Instruction ends 12/18/2014. All work, including your make up exam (if you choose to do it) and bonus point opportunities must be completed by 12/18/2014 at
