Raffle Points
To encourage creativity and class participation, this course will feature a unique concept called "raffle points." Students will earn points in class and by applying the results of technical assignments in creative ways, and at the end of the course students can cash out on their raffle points to buy entries into raffles for different items related to the course. Larger items will cost more raffle points per entry.
Ways To Earn Raffle Points
- Group raffle point problems (see the class participation page for more info)
- Certain calls for participation in class
- Submitting an entry to the art contest on an assignment
- Winning an art contest on an assignment
- Particularly helpful or insightful forum entries on Piazza
- Finding mistakes on the web site
Possible Raffle Prizes
(roughly in increasing order of raffle point price per entry)
In rare cases if a student is on a borderline between two letter grades, a high number of raffle points may also be used to bump up the final grade.
