<\/a>PARTICIPATION & ATTENDANCE (20%):
\n<\/span><\/strong>Attendance is required<\/strong>. There will be in-class discussions. If you are absent, you cannot participate. (See VIU\u00a0Calendar<\/em>, General Regulations \u2013\u00a0Attendance<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Active participation is contributing to class activities; discussion is the primary one.\u00a0 I am interested in the quality of comments and\/or questions raised during discussion.\u00a0 Be an informed participant, i.e., read the assigned articles, review websites, etc.<\/p>\n

Please submit a\u00a0self-evaluation of your participation<\/strong>\u00a0(no more than 250-300 words, through\u00a0VIULearn<\/a>) by\u00a0December 15<\/strong>. \u00a0Be reflective and honest<\/strong>\u00a0about your participation, for example, are you engaged with the material, do you ask questions or comment, how have you contributed to make this a better learning experience for you and your peers?<\/p>\n

To receive full credit for participation\u00a0(quality counts!)<\/strong>, you must 1) attend class, 2) participate fully in class activities (discussion, evaluation, etc.), and 3) provide a self-assessment of participation.<\/p>\n

<\/a>DISCUSSION FORUM (10%):
\n<\/strong><\/span>The\u00a0<\/span>quality of your comments is important<\/strong>.\u00a0The topics are related to what is being discussed in class.\u00a0 Ideally, you should be responding as the semester progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

These will be graded as Pass or High Pass.\u00a0 If you submit on time, you will receive for this portion of your grade, minimally, a B.\u00a0 A High Pass is about the quality of your writing and commentary: do you support your statements by example; do your words engage \u2018the reader\u2019?<\/p>\n

DUE:\u00a0last opportunity<\/span> to submit on\u00a0<\/strong>VIULearn<\/strong><\/a> is December 17, 11:30pm<\/span>.
\nDon\u2019t wait until the end!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>OPINION PIECE (5%):<\/strong><\/span>
\nYou are encouraged to learn outside the classroom by taking advantage of on- and off-campus events. \u00a0During the semester, I will post possibilities as I become aware of them. \u00a0Check with me if there is an event that you wish to attend not already identified.<\/p>\n

Attend an event and submit an opinion piece<\/strong>\u00a0(no more than 250-300 words)\u00a0through\u00a0<\/strong>VIULearn<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

opin-ion<\/strong>\u00a0\\ \u0259-\u2019pin-y\u0259 n \\<\/em> n. 1 a: a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter.\u00a0 (Merriam-Webster\u2019s Collegiate\u00ae Dictionary 11th Edition)<\/p>\n

As the above definition implies, I am interested in your response to the event. Your commentary is\u00a0NOT to be a summary<\/strong>. \u00a0Be reflective,\u00a0support your opinion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>This is the only assignment that can be considered \u2018optional\u2019; there is no penalty if you do not complete this other than missing 5% of your mark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
