Extra Credit Information

There is information about extra credit opportunities (NOVA Online student orientation, extra postings to the Canvas discussions, special projects and other opportunities) scattered throughout each of the online history courses.

It is up to the student to locate that information; don't ask your instructor to tell you where it is.

I am always looking for possible new assignments in the courses. Suggest one for extra credit! Be creative in your thinking.

In addition, I would like to encourage any student to consider creating a website on some specific topic to support instruction in one of my courses (HIS 101, 102, 111, 112, 241 and 242). Some of the considerations involved in creating a website can be found in my HIS 135 course, along with some examples of what students have created for that course, but you can do something different than that. Depending on the complexity of the website, a student can earn from 50 to 150 points of extra credit. If you are interested in this work, you should contact your instructor as soon as possible.
