Discussion Rules and Grading

Part of your grade in this class is based on your participation in class discussions. How should I determine this grade? How should we quantify meaningful participation?

45 comments:

  1. We can quantify meaningful participation if a student raises his or her hand, doesn't talk over others, and implies their perception often.

  3. meaningful participation should be counted if a student is cooperating with the class rules shows interest and gets in on a group discussion most of the time...

  9. Meaningful participation should be based on your effort you put into the discussion. I feel the more input you the better grade you get. Things students say should obviously thought about.

  23. You Should Just Do What Works For Us Students. Maybe It'll Work, Maybe It Wont. But The Best Thing To Do Is Focus On Whose Participating. Let Those Who Dont Want To Participate Do Whatever.... They Have A Choice So Yeah.....

  24. Oh! Okay iSee. I think our participation is very important to grade because we need to at least get graded for doing something in the class b/cuz we dont even get homework fo christ sakes.

  25. We should qualify meaningul participation by being graded on just participating in discussions . It shouldn't matter how much we talk because that should refelct on us and how much we care about our grade !

  26. Well if a person doesn't participate in a class discussion then they don't deserve any points for class. And for those who do participate then they are rewarded participation points. Another way we should be graded is by respect during discussions and take away points for horseplay or side chatting.

    i think you should grade us on the way we answer the question because some people aren't serious when they spek they just speak beacause they think they will get thier points for saying anything.

    It is quite hard to judge participation in a class, especially considering how quiet some people could be. However I think it might work best if we let some people who are not into the whole disscussion based part of class might have some kind of writing alternative and I believe that the people who are heavy into disscussions would be participating in that aspect of the class.

  29. If you didn't put your name on your comment, please do so or I can't give you credit. Part of your grade is based on participation, but I agree with Nolandra that if I give more points for talking more, some people might just say stuff for points! I want you to have thoughtful responses to the topics and discussions. So how can I fairly judge what comments show effort and what comments don't?

  38. i think that if you bring subjects that are not relevant during a class discussion you should get points taken away. if you bring good discussion topics up, you should be rewarded with extra points.
