Student preparation and participation involves a number of variables, listed in the rubric below.
Your preparation and participation will be assessed out of 25 possible points, posted on Canvas and updated approximately
every two weeks.
• The use of cell phones, pagers, mp3 players and all other electronic equipment during class is prohibited unless otherwise
indicated by your instructor. All equipment must be turned off in the classroom. Any evidence of cell phones (use, ringing,
buzzing, etc.) and similar equipment use will result in an automatic zero in preparation and participation for that day. Using a cell
phone during a test will result in a zero on that assignment.
