heads up: you will be asked to fill an participation evaluation sheet next class

Folks:

 

 As you may recall,  10% of the grade for the course is based on participation which is measured in terms of attendance and 

attentiveness.  In order to give that part of your

grade, I will be asking all students to fill up a participation form that will have the folowing questions. Please have your

data ready so you can give accurate answers to the following (*Don't reply now--you will fill hard-copy forms in the class*)

 

Attendance: How many classes did you miss:__________  (exact number preferred--see http://rakaposhi.eas.asu.edu/cse471

  to see what was done on what days so you can recollect which classes you missed)

 

 How many of these cases did you notify the instructor prior to the absence:_______________

 

Attentiveness: How many classes did you ask meaningfu questions:___________________

 

Blog participation: How many times did you post meaningful responses to the thinking cap questions:_____________

 

If you take the 5th and not give answers, I will have to go by my recollections and samples. But note that my estimates of class abseences tend to be

inaccurate--if you miss a couple I might think you mised half-a-dozen, and if you slept in the class once, I assume you never paid any attention ;-)

 

 

cheers
