Intellectual Participation

Intellectual Participation (10% of course grade) 

This is actually a discussion-based class, so I will measure your intellectual participation according to (1) how well you prepare outside of class; (2) how consistently you complete activities in class; and (3) how committed you are to good communal practices when you perform. Think of your intellectual participation as your contribution: What can you offer to help us move the discussion forward? How can you share responsibility for your own and others’ learning? How could you risk thinking in a new way? Please be professional, arrive on time, stay engaged, and uphold FSU’s Student Conduct Code in every sense (http://dos.fsu.edu/srr/conduct-codes/student-conduct-code). If I find you are inattentive, absorbed in non-productive multi-tasking, completing homework for another class, or lacking the required texts for that day’s activity, I reserve the right to lower your participation grade.
