depth of the dialogue. CP is making observations that integrate concepts and discussions, citing relevant
personal examples, being an active participant in group discussions or working with others to come to a
common understanding of topics.
3. Should you face any difficulties speak to the instructor right before the class or make an appointment to talk
in detail. If there is a sufficient number of individuals facing difficulties we can organize a brief CP workshop.
4. Failure to make good CP in response to a “cold call”, using cell phones in class or demonstrating disruptive
behavior may result in negative marking with or without warning.

personal favors are not welcome.

not be given any extra time. If you are late you will miss the quiz and you will get a zero. There will be an n‐1
