Writing Extra Credit

(up to 5 points on first version and revision)

*This is the extra credit that will have the biggest impact on your overall grade.*

Writing Center locations and hours:  Make sure to give them a call to double check their hours in case those have changed or not been updated.


You can get extra credit on any major writing assignment (essay, summary/response, research assignment, technical writing documents, cover letters) by going to the college’s writing centers.  You must follow these rules.


REMEMBER: You must go to the writing center at least one day before the assignment due date.



Extra Credit for Attending EPCC Sponsored Events


  1. Attend an EPCC sponsored event.  
  2. Take a picture of the announcement/poster for it, and a selfie of yourself there.  
  3. Go to the event and take a selfie of yourself while you’re there.
  4. Take notes.  If it’s a play or something where taking notes is not the thing to do, jot down your thoughts as soon as you can afterward.
  5. Write a well-developed paragraph or two about your experience—describe it and discuss what you learned and what you thought.  If there's an opportunity to ask a question and you have one to ask, do that and note the question and answer.

Giving Extra Credit

(5 points on lowest coursework grade, up to 3)*

In order to encourage you to give back to your community, I will give you 5 extra credit points on your lowest coursework grade if you donate to a non-profit organization.  You can take advantage of this up to 3 times during the semester. You can donate blood, your time, or other things.  Here are some local non-profits, but there are others as well.


*The exception to Giving extra credit is for Service learning.  If you do service learning and complete all of your hours, it will count as 3 EPCC sponsored events.


Exemplary Work Credit

I may also add a few extra credit points to work that stands out as exemplary.
