Assignments:
Each assignment has a box for your name, date, and assignment number. If these fields are blank, you will not recieve credit. Keep in mind when you are filling out text boxes, if you push the BACK button, you will lose ALL TEXT YOU HAVE WRITTEN. I suggest you keep two browsers open when working on an assignment.
All Internet Assignments are required and will be graded. Reading Assignments for each chapter are EXTRA CREDIT. If you choose to do the extra credit, it must be handed in on time. When submitting extra credit, make sure to put "Reading #" in the assignment text box. Late extra credit will not be accepted.

Unless prior arrangements are made, 10% will be deducted for each class period that an assignment is late. The assignments will focus on broadening your exposure to the science and public policies associated with global warming and the ozone hole through the use of the Internet Companion. Grading is as follows:
Attendance: Mandatory
Internet Assignments: 20 points each
Extra Credit: 2 points each
