The technology field changes so rapidly, and is so dynamic that becoming a part of Use Groups, Meet-Ups, or any Professional Organization is a very positive thing.  I recognize educational opportunities OUTSIDE of the classroom & invite & allow you to utilize attendance to an event or participation in a Use Group. You may substitute these events for a single missing assignment grade, or you can one of these events for up to 5 bonus points on one exam grade. (Max per semester: 3 events total)

Attend a professional seminar, event, networking presentation.  Provide a summary of the experience. (minimum 1 page)  Submit in the Drop Box found here. Be sure to indicate what item you wish to substitute for... Assignment or Exam Points?  Labs are not an option, you may NOT substitute for a missed LAB.
