Regular attendance and active participation are a necessary part of your success in this class. Since you know about your own level of participation, you have the opportunity to provide input regarding your discussion section score. At the end of each discussion, you will assign a grade to your participation for that day. Your instructor will either agree or disagree with the score and adjust it accordingly. Please note that she will determine your final score.
