This is also a student-driven course. It is your responsibility to participate actively in class discussions. You are not graded on whether you agree or disagree with the instructor or with each other. Evaluation of class participation will be based on your ability to rise and answer important issues, to contribute ideas or insights, to build upon the ideas of others, ask questions to presenters, etc. By actively participating in the class discussions, you can sharpen your insights, and those of your classmates. Both the quality and frequency of your participation will count towards your active participation grade. Please note that high-quality or relevant contribution will earn you a higher participation grade than frequent but insignificant contribution. Also, you will not get any class participation points for just being present in class. Class attendance is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for scoring highly on the class participation.
