Class Participation Rubric 
Class Participation Rubric
This chart describes how your class participation grade will be determined. All students are expected to participate in class daily. Frequent absences (more than 2-3 classes, especially without a reasonable excuse) will tend to lower the score. ***Sometimes, students are uncomfortable participating in class due to shyness and/or a reflective learning style that makes immediate and/or public responses particularly difficult for them. If this is you, please visit my office or email me, and we can agree on alternative ways to earn participation points by demonstrating your engagement in the course material. These could include meeting with me one-on-one and/or writing short reflective paragraphs on what the class has been learning/discussing.
