| Participation grade will be based on: (1) Attendance, (2) Completing online quizzes, (3) Completing lab projects, (4) Participation in online discussion. To the extent possible, this will also be based on how actively the student participates in in-class discussion (based on instructor's subjective assessment). | Participation grade will be based on: (1) Attendance, (2) Completing online quizzes, (3) Completing lab projects, (4) Participation in online discussion. To the extent possible, this will also be based on how actively the student participates in in-class discussion (based on instructor's subjective assessment). |
| | |
| | UPDATE: Since online quizzes were not regularly provided and online discussion was not very active, the base participation grade will be calculated as 10 * (0.5*(Labs_completed/7) + 0.5*(Lectures_attended/10)). The teacher can then add possible bonus points to this base grade based on a subjective evaluation of the student's participation throughout the semester (into which the online forum may factor). |
