Class Participation Grading Sheet (50 pts)—COM 372

Name

Assignment Description (from the Syllabus):

Participation (50 pts): Based on contributions to classroom and/or Webboard discussion, attention, participation in any group exercises. Grade will be given "subjectively." More weight will be given to participation that reflects knowledge of and thought about the reading (whether or not your understanding of reading matches mine!). There is no specific grading on attendance (or exactly how many days/week you log on), but lack of attendance (or doing all of your participation at the last minute) limits what others and I can learn from you and your experiences (and thus limits your participation grade). For on-line, you have a minimum of 20 Web-board posts during the summer. A minimum of 10 of these should be responses/interaction with others, and minimum of 10 should be “unique” contributions of some sort. For 2009, the class average was about 20. You had 23 posts.
