When you get your grades back, you can take them to RD Kirsten for extra points while ATM Megan is away.

Ask your RA if you have any questions about Grade Busters. Here are the rules in case you've forgotten:

Grade Busters Competition Information and Rules

Grade Busters is an academic game in which the floors of Littell Hall compete with each other to see which floor can accumulate the highest number of grade points in a month. Residents are encouraged to report to the Academic Team Member (ATM) the grade points they have received for tests or quizzes in their classes. THIS IS A COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY GAME! RESIDENTS WILL ONLY REPORT GRADE POINTS TO THE ACADEMIC TEAM MEMBER IF THEY WISH TO!

Procedure
1. Each floor will select a team leader. The team leader will be responsible for encouraging all residents to participate in the program and collecting residents’ top grades for the week.
2. We will accept tests, quizzes, papers of at least 3 full pages, or notes from professors reporting students’ grades on tests or quizzes. Residents may submit grades from any month/semester in the 2007-2008 school year, but only one grade per student will be accepted per week.
3. The team leader will select the top ten scores from all the submitted grades and take them to their RA by Sunday at 6pm.
4. The RA will initial the top ten submitted scores and will give them back to the floor rep with Littell Loot for each participant.
5. The team leader will return the scored papers with attached Littell Loot to each participant.
6. Residents must take their initialed grades to ATM Megan Murray during her office hours on Monday 6-7:30pm or Tuesday 5:30-7pm. If the team leader takes all the grades to the ATM, the floor will receive ONLY 50 extra points. If the participants take their own scores to the ATM, they will receive 50 points APIECE for the floor – and collect more Littell Loot! No extra points will be awarded for grades submitted to the ATM after 7pm on Tuesday.
7. The ATM will tally each floor’s scores and update them weekly on the Grade Busters bulletin board in the first floor lounge.
8. The floor that scores the most points by the end of each month will be declared the winner and will receive either an ice cream or pizza party.
9. Team leaders who fulfill their duties will be invited to attend the winning team’s party, regardless of whether they reside on the winning floor. They will also receive $20 of Littell Loot.
