You are like Mary Poppins practically perfect in every way.

In order to get an A for

participation points you need to be engaged in class every day, ask good questions during
lectures and discussion groups, and demonstrate a desire to learn on a daily basis. You
must also always be on task and working on something in a constructive way. You enter
the classroom quietly. You are in your seat when the bell rings without being asked. You
do not talk while the teacher is talking, nor does he have to wait for you to stop talking to
begin class, a lecture or activity. You are respectful towards everyone in the room. Assignments must be turned in on time. You are always prepared for class. You are always an asset to the class.

You have your moments of brilliance, but may not be consistent enough to earn an A. Earning
a B for participation means that you are not quite working to your potential, but you take care
of the basic things that are asked of you. Your participation in discussion groups is adequate.
You are generally on-task and respectful of others. You are mostly engaged in the course, but
you have some days where you are floating by. You are frequently an asset to the class.
You could do a better job. You participate sporadically and may be off-task during discussion
groups, note-taking, activities, lectures, or workshops. It has been obvious on occasion that you
are not engaged with the course material. Perhaps you put your work away, line up at the door
early, or you move yourself to an unproductive location during workshop? You need to work
harder to participate and be prepared for class. Your lack of participation in class can be a liability at times.
You are frequently unengaged in class. You may also be frequently off-task, and your behavior may be negative. Do you passively sit while letting others in the group do the work? Your
behavior may be distracting to the other members of the class. You use your phone for things
unrelated to class. Your lack of participation in class is a liability.
