A few people have asked recently about the extra credit assignment that you have an opportunity to complete anytime until the time of your final exam. It is worth between 1 and 4 points on your final grade depending on the quality and depth of your report. It is represented in the lecture slides, but very buried and not findable via a search of the site. So, I thought I would bring it to the surface. Here is the assignment:
Requirements:
1) visit a site that relates to NYC sometime during this semester (provide ticket stub or some other evidence of visit)
2) Write a 1-4 page essay connecting what you learned at the site to topics and materials covered in this course
Some recommended sites:
–Lower East Side Tenement Museum
–African Burial Ground
–Ellis Island
–Museum of the City of New York
–New-York Historical Society
Can we go to the Met museum?
Yes, as long as you can find a specific exhibit that you can relate in your write-up to a subject we have studied in our course.
Is it due on last day of class or day of final
Day of the final.
I’m not completely sure if we’re suppose to write a new post for the Extra Credit Blog post or just write it here. I will make a new post to go with the safer method.
@Jerry Yes, that is right: create a new post.
