Extra Credit for Semester

If you're hoping for a few points of extra credit to supplement your grade you had two options this semester (and now have one more);
1. Pass the semester exam.

2. Undertake a service learning project in which you volunteer to work with elderly &/or ill people in hospitals, senior centers, or elsewhere. For this option you should visit with the same people, or at least same place, 2x+ and write up your insights and experiences in 3-5 paragraphs - connecting to dominant social practices of illness & dying.

What did you notice? How did you feel? How did they feel? What social practices most supported those folks in dignity? What social practices most undermined their chance to live well? This should be posted to your blog by 8pm, Sunday , January 30th. Send me an email with the link if you've done this by the deadline so I know to check your blog.

3. Watch "Carnival Around the Central Figure" and insightfully connect it to our course in a 4-6 paragraph essay. Review here - tickets here. Again, send me an email with the link to your post before the deadline (8pm, Sunday, January 30th).
