Explanation: Optional assignments are just that, optional. You do not have to do them but if you do they are graded just like a regular assignment. The grade is then figured into the total grade. This IS NOT extra credit. If you fail an optional assignment you could hurt your overall grade. I will not accept optional assignments late.
