For class participation guidelines
see X5-10. Class participation consists of showing up in class on time, having
read the material assigned for that day, and being prepared to talk about it.
Attendance will be taken in the first few minutes after the bell has run. Those
coming in after attendance checking has been completed can no longer have their
names added to the roster for that day. If called upon and you have not read
the material, a "U" for "unprepared" will be entered or a "P" for "prepared."
One can earn a "P" even if one comes late.
In addition to being prepared to discuss the readings, class participation
means common courtesy and paying attention to whoever is speaking. That means,
of course, no talking while someone else is speaking or a presentation is being
made, no reading of other materials in class, no sleeping in class, etc. That
kind of lack of attention earns a "D" for discourtesy
