COP 4530: Class Participation and review questions

Participation in class discussions and activities is essential to successful learning and should reflect the your reading, analysis, and experience in relation to the topic.

In order to help you review reading material, we will provide you with some review questions, which you should be prepared to answer the next lecture. You should also submit a hardcopy of your answers. Apart from this, I will ask other questions in class. You too should feel free to ask questions on material that you do not understand, offer suggestions on improving ideas presented in class, and make other positive contributions to the learning experience in class. All these will count toward class participation.
Your class participation grade will be determined according to the following criteria:

Level of Participation Description

The student always submits correct answers to review questions.

Good/Satisfactory (70% - 89%) Student takes an active role in communicating with the class and with the instructor, i.e. the student consistently engages in and contributes relevant information to class discussions. The student often correctly answers questions posed by the instructor, both in class and for the review questions.

There may be circumstances that deter or prevent discussion. At any time, if you are not participating in class discussion to the fullest extent possible, please make an appointment with me, immediately, to discuss remedies.
