Sample Participation Policy
lParticipation During the quarter, you will be regularly asked to contribute to the group as a whole. In addition, you will be asked to participate in small group problem-solving or discussions. These activities are important for your learning of the material, so participation and attendance are critical. In addition, these activities will require you to come to class prepared. I monitor participation and note who appears to be prepared or not.

l a. Regular attendance
