Course Methods and Techniques
|
The course will be held in-class. CANVAS will be used for all announcements, course materials. You are responsible to follow the CANVAS regularly. This is also a student-driven course. It is your responsibility to participate actively in class discussions. Evaluation of class participation will be based on your ability to raise and answer important issues, contribute ideas or insights, build upon the ideas of others, ask questions to presenters, etc. By actively participating in the class discussions, you can sharpen your insights. Both the quality and frequency of your participation will count towards your active participation grade. Also, you will not get any class participation points for just being present in class. Class attendance is a necessary but not sufficient condition for scoring highly on class participation.
