Class Participation
This class is designed to be an essentially participatory endeavor. Collectively we know more than we do individually, and by engaging the subject matter interactively, we'll learn the material better. While somewhat challenging due to the distance and asynchronous participation in class, we expect students to be creative in their approach.
General requirements
- Class discussions on the individual class pages of the wiki. Please note that only comments posted by 4:00pm on Tuesday will count for that week's participation grade.
- In-class discussions - verbally or through our virtual classroom on Adobe Connect
- Other contributions to the wiki
Specific requirement
- Constructively comment/critique rough drafts generated in Assignment 2, and post it to the course wiki.
How to participate remotely
You can use Adobe Connect to participate during class time. Visit our Adobe Connect site and log in as guest.
We recommend that, if you would like to speak during class, you use a combination headphone/microphone to participate. Alternatively, you may use headphones along with your computer's built-in mic. As a last resort, you can use your computer's built-in mic without headphones, but please be aware that this may cause audio issues for both you and the class as a whole.
Note: When you log in to Adobe Connect, you will log in as a guest. Please use your full name or a pseudonym that will allow us to identify who you are so we can give you credit for your class participation.
- If you have any trouble running Adobe Connect, please go to the support page on Adobe Connect's site or click on the "Help" button in the upper right corner of the Connect window.
