*You will earn points on every acceptable 1S1P report you write. As you write reports and earn points, your points total will grow. You will be allowed to write a total of 4 1S1P reports during the semester (Bonus Assignments are not included in this total). Your objective should be to earn 45 pts. (the maximum number allowed) by the end of the semester. How you try to do that is up to you. There will be at least 2 more assignments like this during the semester (and perhaps another Bonus Assignment or two). Some students do their reports early in the semester, others might leave the report writing until later in the semester. Some students might not write any 1S1P reports at all (not a good idea: they won't earn any 1S1P pts. and their overall grade will suffer).
