Extra Credit

I've completed a bunch of classes, and I'm really liking what I'm learning. Unfortunately, I just found out there's extra credit for each class, or most of them. I think the extra credit appears at the end of each section of a course, but I always just hit the "Next Stage" button, so I've never done any of the extra credit assignments. Honestly, I've never even seen them.

I just took a minute and went back to a previous lesson and completed the final quiz again. I didn't see the extra credit there, so I have no idea where it's supposed to be. I don't know if it's hidden in plain sight and I'm just not looking, or if it's tucked away somewhere, but either way, I'd love to know where it is.

If it's not just me, and these extra credit assignments are not easy to spot, can these be gathered together in one place that's easier to find? I was thinking that making another link on the Library page for extra credit assignments would be perfect. I know that extra practice for some of these lessons would be a huge help, and I'm sure I'm not the only student that would really make use of something like that.

That's good to know. I wasn't aware of that either. Maybe better to use contact support as it seems like a technical question. Either way, i'd definitely like to see a response from staff.

I think that would be helpful to, I often fail to see or forget to check if there is any extra credit for the subject. A place to quickly view all the extra credit tasks would be very helpful.

Cool, man!! I'm sorry to have started the trend of replying in the "Post Answer" section. I should have used the Comments under the commentator. (I did that and fortunately someone moved my remarks up to comments)

I saw mention of extra credit in one of the 'congratulations on completing the section' emails, so went back to have a look, and I can't find the extra credit anywhere. Don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place, does every stage have extra credit, or just some?

Many of the videos have an accompanying extra credit assignment, but not all of them. If you're curious about them, they will be located under certain videos. It's put in a place that's difficult to see without scrolling, so it's really easy to miss them. I hope they centralize those assignments, or at least find a better place for them. Maybe putting them over by the project files and video download links for each video would be a good idea.
