Extra Credit Quizzes

Directions: To earn Extra Credit take the linked quizzes below during the appropriate time frame. (Since these extra credit quizzes are outside links, sometimes links no longer work. My apologies. If you would like to inform me of a broken link and suggest a link to replace it, please email me. Thank You. Dr. P) 

Score 100% on the quiz. Print the page with your score of 100%, write your name on it, make no other marks on it, and turn it in at the start of class during the time period when it is due.

To use the print screen function (if you have trouble printing a score box), press "Print Screen" on the upper right hand of your keyboard, then paste that into a Word document and print the entire screen shot with the score. Please do not email quiz results to me.

If the due date falls during an absence, weekend or school holiday, please make sure you have submitted the quiz PRIOR to that date in order to earn credit.

 

Score 100% on the quiz. Take a screen shot of your 100% (showing the ENTIRE page, not just the score) and paste it into a word document. Make sure you type your name in the upper right-hand corner of the Word document.

Paste ALL of the quizzes for which you would like to receive credit in a unit in ONE document, and when you are done save it as a PDF file (save it with YOUR name AND with the title of the Bonus Quiz topic). Upload your completed PDF file to the appropriate VERGE Assignment folder before the due date posted. I will only accept 1 (the 1st) submission per quiz topic (so please do not send me 10 different quizzes in 10 different documents).
