Other Bonuses and Incentives

Students who want to be challenged should routinely attempt the bonus homework questions typically given in class. In addition, bonus projects are encouraged - these will be expected to be original work and a clear write-up on an open problem of your choice. You can talk to me for ideas.

While bonus points will add to your grade, I do not intend this to be a way to "do extra volume, but routine work" to "make up a poor grade."

Students who show aptitude/motivation, either through grades or original answers or class participation, will be invited to work with me on research projects. Given mutual suitability, the students on these projects hold a high potential for being funded.
