I don’t think I ever managed to tell the second class exactly what the sitch is regarding XP cards.

So: those cards that I hand you as a reward for in-class exercises should be treated as cash. They are each good for the number of XP it says on the card. They cannot be traded to other students, sold, re-used from previous Stephen classes, or forged.

At two points in the semester — fall break and final exam — you will have the opportunity to turn in to me your physical XP cards (which you’ll staple and write your names on) and I’ll post those points on the electronic scoreboard along with everything else.

Bottom line: until fall break, all you have to do with your XP cards is manage not to lose them!
