Timeline Extra Credit Requirements

Here it is, your opportunity for 5% extra credit added on to your final grade at the
end of the quarter.

You have been working on a Timeline since January in order to give you a visual
representation of the cause and effect relationships that occur throughout history.

If you have received a 5/5 on all of your previous Timeline Checks then you are
well on your way to getting the 5% extra credit. In order to receive the whole 5%
you will need to create something that is obviously shows your best effort and is a
representation of the best work that you can possibly do. The format for this will
be up to you, but keep in mind just listing the date in a word document does not
take a lot of effort and will not earn you a full 5%. Please be as creative as you
possibly can. I know there are a lot of dates, but if you have been working all
semester long then this will not take you too long to complete.

Here is a list of dates that are expected to be on your Timeline, if you choose to
participate. We will conclude our Timeline on Friday May 2, 2014 to give you
plenty of time to work on it.
