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. Alternative ways to earn participation credits may still be determined by a student showing their engagement with the topic or class material. Recitation, small-group dynamics, and guided/ directed inquiries may also be used for class discussions.
