Extra Credit Options

Do not mistake these for easy ways around taking the exam. These will almost certainly be way more work than they're worth. Choose any combination for up to 5 points (added to your final grade). You can submit these at any point during the semester and I will grade them as quickly as possible. If you have any other ideas for add-ons you'd like to do, send them to me and I may put them on this list.
