You initially have 1 free pass to use during this course. However, for every 6 class meetings in a row that you fully attend (you are not absent, not late, not leaving early, not asleep, and so on) you will earn another free pass. As a result, it is possible for you to earn a total of 8 free passes this semester.
1 free pass may be exchanged for any of the following:
- Any (up to 5) missed tweets for one between-class period,
- Automatically passing one regular negotiation preparation (this includes passing a regular preparation you did not turn in), or
- An extra 24-hour extension for a reflection paper (in addition to the automatic 12-hour grace period).
3 free passes may be exchanged for the following:
- Dropping your lowest reflection paper grade.
6 free passes may be exchanged for the following:
- Dropping your two lowest reflection paper grades.
For each free pass that you do not use by the end of the course, I will boost your overall participation grade by +0.5 point.
So use your free passes wisely!
