Com. 337.03 and 460.1 and .2 - Spring semester 2003

Professor Agnes G. Doody, Ph.D.

Class participation

The learning process is indeed synergistic: that synergy develops as both the faculty member and the students engage in intellectual sharing and intellectual stimulation in the classroom. To make that synergy really soar, it's important that both faculty and students "give it their all." As you will note in your syllabus, class participation counts for a percentage of your final grade. What I'm asking you to do is to become more aware of both the quality and the quantity of your class participation by stepping back and evaluating it. You will do that twice this semester: just before mid-semester, due date 4 March, and then again at the end of the semester, due date 1 May.

For students in Com. 460, you will be graded as follows: quizzes = 20%; journal entries = 40%; executive summaries and other written papers = 25%; class participation = 15%. Please note this is a correction of grading criteria that appear in your syllabus.

Using the format below, reflect upon your involvement with the intellectual dynamics of your course, evaluate the results of your inflection and respond.
