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.

Here are examples of some concrete things you might do other than speaking that I consider participation: | Beyond that, participation is understandably a kind of unclear thing for many students.

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. | |||
