  5. How does the extra creditapply to my grade? • Studies offer different amounts of credit • 1 credit = 1 participation hour • e.g., a 3-hour experiment would earn you 3 credits • 1 credit = 1% point added to final grade • OR: 1 credit = 1 point added to total points • Total Max credits = 15 • Individual courses have different credit caps (ask you instructor)

  6. Participation is VOLUNTARY • You do not have to participate in any studies if you do not wish to receive extra credit. • Once you begin a study, you have the option to leave it at any time. You will receive credit in proportion to time spent participating (1 credit minimum).
