Whiteboard Discussion Rubric 
Class Discussion Rubric
Rubric for evaluating participation in a class discussion. All students are expected to participate; some students may be uncomfortable due to shyness and/or a learning style that makes immediate or public responses difficult for them. Recitation, small-group dynamics, and guided/ directed inquiries through use of the whiteboards increase individual participation.
