Participation – Participation is ten percent of the student’s final grade.  Participation will be measured by the use of a “student participation log,” class attendance and through participation in an online discussion forum of course related issues.  Each of these is one third of the final participation score.  The participation log is available for download at the course website.  The students are expected to obtain the log and keep a record of their participation in class.  The log must be handed in at the time of the final. To count toward the final participation grade, the online postings in the threaded discussion must be within 72 hours of the issue discussed.  More information regarding the threaded discussion is available on the course website and will be discussed in class.
