The scoring rubric for class
participation suggests a general framework for measuring each students
participation. An individual students styles of learning, expressing ones
ideas, and participating in the discussion will be considered when the instructor grades
the individuals class participation. Each instructor will discuss with students
his/her variability in measuring students class participation.
