You have the opportunity to add one point to your semester's final average by performing one of the two extra credit options below.

• You will participate in a research study that examines how students learn about computer algorithms. In particular, this study examines the use of animations of algorithms as potential learning aids. In the study, you will work with an animated representation of an algorithm. The study will take approximately 90-120 minutes. A sign-up sheet can be found at http://www.cs.uga.edu/~rhodes/algoAnimSignUp.html and contact instructions are included there as well. Sessions run Nov. 7th through Nov. 16th.
• You will create a PowerPoint presentation (minimum 15 slides) about a computer algorithm that could be used to teach the algorithm to a class. Along with the PowerPoint slides, you will create a separate document scripting the explanation of each slide. The presentation must be of high-quality, something that could potentially be used in a class. If you are interested in this option, please send an email to rhodes@cs.uga.edu for details on the algorithm you will need to describe.
