In-class activity.

We may occasionally have an in-class activity designed to help us meet the learning objectives for the course. These activities will not be on the course calendar and may or may not be announced. The successful completion of some of these activities, which may simply be participating in the activity, may result in points added to your grade. Not all in-class activities will result in additional points.
