Five percent of your overall grade reflects the apparent effort you make to learn from your mistakes by reviewing assignments with a designated course tutor.

When you review your work on any given assignment within one week of its return, you earn 100% tutoring credit for that assignment.

If your score on any given assignment is below 70%, you are required to review that assignment with a tutor within one week. If you do so, you will earn 100% tutoring credit for that assignment. If not, you will receive 0% tutoring credit for that assignment.

If your score on any given assignment is 70% or higher, there is no tutoring requirement for that assignment. If you choose to review your work with a tutor, you will earn 100% tutoring credit for that assignment. If not, your tutoring credit will match the assignment grade (i.e., the tutoring component will have neither a positive nor a negative impact on your grade for that particular assignment).

If you wish to receive homework credit for attending tutoring, you must bring your corrected assignment(s) in order to review the mistakes. Also, it is your responsibility to provide the tutor with your name and section so that the credit can be reported back to me.
