Participation

Participation in this course is crucial. During most class meetings we will break into randomly selected groups and discuss a list of questions and ideas. During this time the instructors will mill around and allow as many groups as possible the chance to discuss their thoughts with us. Later you will write a journal elaborating upon this discussion. A large part of your participation grade will come from our view of how much you contribute to these group discussion. Furthermore toward the end of the course you will be asked to give your thoughts concerning surveys and proposals that other class member construct. Your participation in this dialog will be crucial to a good participation grade.
