Student Comments about
IB 100/101 Extra Credit
Projects
"I learned a lot out of the extra credit. I thought that it
would take forever and be really boring, but
I actually enjoyed doing it."
....."I only wish that I would have done these projects from the
beginning."
"I definitely think that I got a lot out of these extra credit
assignments. I wish I had taken advantage of them earlier, because they
really helped me learn more about the topics we are focusing on in
lecture. And not only that, they are a great way to boost your grade
and prepare you for the upcoming test at the same time."
"Well of course I was able to earn a few points of extra
credit
points toward my overall class, which helped me ensure a grade I am
proud of. But I think I gained more than just those points. Being able
to relate the class material to other sources or events that mean
something else to me helped me understand and remember those concepts.
Even on exams, I knew the topics that I did for extra credit best
because I had learned them in a more meaningful way."
".....I think that the extra credit assignments helped me on
my
homework, quizzes, and exams because it forced me to do further
studying
and outside research. So I am overall grateful for taking advantage of
the extra credit opportunities."
"....when I look back at everything I have learned in biology,
I
remember the sections that pertained to my media watcher most clearly.
Not only did I have a double dose of knowledge through lecture and
extra
credit, I remember because it relates to current events."
"The main things I got out of the tutor/tutee extra credit
project
were a better understanding of biology and a higher grade on my second
exam."
".....there has been a great deal of controversy over the new
Guardasil drug that helps prevent cervical cancer. Until I took this
course and participated in the extra credit, I would have no idea how
this even comes close to relating to science."
