*- a 0.5% participation bonus will be added to the final average of any student taking the pre-course or post course diagnostic. If you participate in both 1% will be added to your final average. If you only participate in one, 0.5% is added and if you do not participate (or don't give a serious** effort) no bonus will be added. Additionally, a pre-and a post course survey will be offered at the same time as the two diagnostics are offered. Students participating in these surveys will receive a 0.5% participation bonus added to their final average for each survey in which they participate. If you seriously participate in all four of these optional assignments, 2% will be added to your final average; if you seriously participate in three of them, 1.5% will be added to your final average; if you seriously participate in two of them, 1 % will be added to your final average, if you seriously participate in one of them, 0.5% will be added to your final average.
 
**-simple submission patterns(like AAA..., or BBB...) or rapidly clicking on any response throughout the diagnostic are not considered serious efforts and no bonus will be given
 
*** The alternate final exam time is for students having three verified final exams on the scheduled date or for students having a verified final exam at the same time as our scheduled (common) final exam time.
