Class Participation Rubric

A rubric is a chart that categorizes important skills connected with a class requirement and/or assignment. LEVELS of
PROFICIENCY are based on what has been either achieved by the student and/or perceived by the instructor. Students are
encouraged to consider each particular level and the behavioral objectives listed within each box. Overall proficiency may be
calculated by averaging the point values below and placing that value on the grading scale. Class Participation does remain a
significant percentage of the students overall grade. The class syllabus will note that percentage.
