If you need to boost your grade in a general way  (i.e. to compensate for excess absences, low quiz/test scores, low or late grades on papers, etc),  this assignment is for you.

Its grade will be "folded"  into your overall classwork grade & is the equivalent of an online quiz in terms of the weight on your semester grade average. You will receive the extra credit even if your case is not selected for full class analysis,

 

The end result:  =  a one page Conflict Case Study (i.e. a one page summary overview of an interpersonal conflict situation)
