Participation:
You are responsible for attending class, having read the assignments, having prepared your initial responses to the
assigned homework and being ready to ask any questions related to the assignment. Class participation points can be earned in this class in two ways: (1) by speaking up in the class -
making thoughtful comments or asking thoughtful questions (up to 75% of your participation credit may be earned this way), and (2)
by sharing with the class interesting and relevant current events, statistics, cases, etc, (up to 25% of your participation credit may be earned this way. We
will allow 5-10 minutes at the beginning of each class for this sharing of related current events that you have found on the Internet, in
the Wall Street Journal, at your work, or from other sources.
Please note that when evaluating your level of participation in the class, I will consider not only whether you were there, but also whether
your comments demonstrate initiative, provide evidence of preparation for class, and show some technical understanding.
