Take your assignments for the current chapter and then put away your textbook and any handouts you may have recieved. Pick out a concepts of a question from your assignments that you do not understand fully of cannot or you are not sure about the right answer.

Some SITES you can use for extra credit assignments
(there's more on LINKS page and SIMS page and specific links on each chapter's page)

GO TO THE SIMS PAGE FOR SIMULATIONS LINKS!!!! Use these, or others you find to help you complete your assignments.

For each extra credit assignment you must use one from this colum

Martindale's On-line Calculators

and should use one of these.
links to over 18,000 calculators
 

and use these to find another one of any type.
