== Participation == Because the smaller group interactions happen primarily in discussion sections, much of your participation grade (but not all) will be based on discussion section participation. Please note [https://wiki.communitydata.science/User:Aaronshaw/Assessment#Participation Prof. Shaw's guidelines for assessing participation], which I will be following. Some specific things for section that all students are expected to do that will factor into participation: * Each week, ~2-4 students will be doing note-taking of the reading discussions during the section (sign-ups in week 1) on a shared Etherpad. At the end of section, you will copy and paste the notes into a Word Doc and submit it on the section page on Canvas. This means that students should sign up for two different weeks to take notes. * ~2-4 students will be annotating the readings (~300 word summary per reading) on provided Google Doc and (uploaded as PDF on section Canvas by 11PM CT on the Thursday before section). This means that students should sign up for two different weeks to annotate. * Students must attend office hours with me to discuss CA2 (we will do sign-ups as we approach CA2). These are graded as complete/incomplete. You may coordinate with your fellow week note-takers/annotators; I encourage making this a team effort and meeting as a group. However, keep in mind that both etherpads and Google Docs show me who contributed how much, so please do hold yourselves individually accountable. Beyond that, participation is understandably a kind of unclear thing for many students. Like Prof. Shaw, I do not assess participation in terms of how much you speak in class but rather in terms of how much you contribute to the course (please read [https://wiki.communitydata.science/User:Aaronshaw/Assessment#Participation Prof. Shaw's guidelines for assessing participation] to understand what I mean by this). Here are examples of some concrete things you might do other than speaking that I consider participation: * Creating space for your peers to speak * Submitting and sharing thoughtful discussion questions about the week's readings(either ahead of time to me or at the beginning of section) * Engaging in mutual aid and co-learning with your fellow students: proof reading, showing/sharing resources, helping others set up / navigate technology and other tools, doing study groups together (in line with expectations of academic honesty and integrity), etc. * Catching up peers on sections and work that they missed * Sharing relevant news and media on Discord or in the section You might note that some of these things are less visible that others to instructors, particularly actions taken among students. At the end of each section, we'll take two minutes to go to [https://forms.gle/BDzUYcPUaMpNBcao7 this form] and you can jot down things that people have done for you and things that you have done for others, and while I am that will help me keep track of some things. === Sign-ups === If you're in the 11AM section, you can sign up on the [https://wiki.communitydata.science/Online_Communities_and_Crowds_(Winter_2022)/Undergraduate_sections/11AM 11AM Section Page] If you're in the 1PM section, you can sign up on [https://wiki.communitydata.science/Online_Communities_and_Crowds_(Winter_2022)/Undergraduate_sections/1PM 1PM Section Page] === Collaborative Note-taking === Notes will generally be taken on a shared etherpad. Etherpad is a lightweight collaborative text editing tool that Prof. Shaw and I use a lot. We take very seriously making the classroom a respectful and safe place to have engaging discussions. When you are taking notes, please respect the privacy of others' experiences and follow the golden rule of <b>what's shared here, stays here</b>: if someone shares a personal experience, you should note the lesson of that experience but any details about that experience stay in the classroom. Furthermore, the notes shouldn't specify who said what. The idea of the notes is to capture the flow of the main points of discussion as a summary of what was discussed and said.
