Award Extra Credit

You can award extra credit for questions that challenge your students to go beyond the minimum requirements of the class and learn additional material or apply concepts in a more advanced way.

1. If necessary, change the points for the question or assignment to 0.
   Extra credit questions and assignments should be worth 0 points so students' grades are not affected if they do not complete them.
2. Open the Conditional Points window.

   From assignment settings (Assignment Editor, Assignment Templates Manager)	Under Automatic Point Adjustments > Bonus or Penalty, click add or edit.
