All extra credit a student earns for his/her optional wrtitting in English may count up to 10% of the grade in the first and/or
second assessment, depending on the content of the written piece and the quality of submission. That is, a whole 20% of the
course grade can be secured above average, with dedicated English composition –guided by the instructor. This scale and
guidelines for effective writing will be explained in detail the first day of class.
