• one missed homework assignment / failed quiz
• one tardy
• half of an absence (reducing it to a tardy; two papers would then eliminate one absence)

This is not a license to skip class. You may only submit four of these papers. If you currently do not have a missed homework assignment / failed quiz, tardy, or absence, you may still attend a lecture that looks interesting, write the paper, and save a "free quiz" for later (that would make up for a possible bad grade on a future homework assignment / failed quiz).

List of Events
Below is a list of possible events you could attend. If you have another event you would like to attend and possibly receive credit for this "assignment," talk to me at least a week before the event, and we may be able to use that event as well. The University's list of events is online here; usually academic lectures and multicultural events will count for this assignment.
