Biology Extra Credit
Week 4 Extra CreditEvery week, you may provide a written summary about specific items that you have learned in the past week. For the Week 4 Weekly Summary, topics will be from information learned from this Week (Chapters 11, 12 & 13). The Weekly Summary is not mandatory to complete and will not impact your course final grade if it is not completed. This is the only Extra Credit offered in General Biology; and all students are highly encouraged to complete it.You may not complete the Week 4 Extra Credit after Week 4 has closed. Note: Per Keiser University Policy, Extra Credit cannot be more than 2% of the course total; therefore the maximum that can be earned for each Weekly Summary is 0.5 points (for a maximum of 2 points for completion of all 4 Weekly Summaries).
In order, to be eligible for the full amount of extra credit points, it should be a well thought out full paragraph in your own words, at least 150 words. If any information is used from an outside resource it is required to be properly cited per APA requirements, with both in-text citations and a full reference citation. [Note: Directly quoted materials or the references are not included in the word count.]Pick one of the following topics (or choose one of your own) and explain what you learned about it this week.
