(Saturday NOON deadline)

Class participation makes up roughly 13% of the overall grade: each week, “Participate in Class” will be assigned for 4 points of the total 30 points. Additionally, a handful of assignments like “Give final project presentation” or “Write blog post discussing three final presentations” can only be completed by students who attend class.

I asked at least one question during the lecture part of class, I made at least one comment during the discussion part of class, or I either asked a fellow student for help or helped a fellow student during the exercise section of class.

• Gradebook Declaration: I attended class on Friday, February 17. I wasn’t more than thirty minutes late to class, and I stayed until the instructor dismissed class. But I didn’t participate in a meaningful way: no one would have noticed if I hadn’t attended. (1 point)
