5.2 Participation

Students are expected to contribute actively to a positive classroom environment, both in person and online.

Absences, late arrivals and early departures, inappropriate use of telephones or headphones, lack of preparation, and inattentiveness will affect your ability to contribute to a positive classroom environment. I presume all students have adequate class participation, and as students distinguish themselves one way or the other, adjust the grade accordingly.

If your final grade falls near a borderline, I will take your participation into account when I decide whether to round up or down.
