I maybe wrong, but I think I just gave them an e-mail address and some very basic info like name, city & state.... I'm terrible at remembering
I can't speak for my classmates, but I didn't feel pressured. It was completely optional extra credit. However, when totaling all the possible extra credit points, it equaled a letter grade (almost). It was hard to say no to it even though I disagreed with it.
ETA: You know, after further consideration, I agree with you. I'm going to make it a point to tell him and Dean. Not to get anyone in trouble, but there are better, more effective ways to distribute EC points.
I just noticed that some random from my school is following me. WTH? Can't you choose who follows you, like FB friend requests?
