Class Participation

 This is a participatory learning class. That means that your absence effects the learning of others.  Consequently, missing classes  significantly affects your grade. As a rule of thumb, missing more than two classes will impact your class participation grade significantly.

However, class participation means more than showing up for class. Class participation includes:
bullet actively participating in class and group discussion.
bullet keeping abreast of news related to tobacco, health and the law (including submitting copies of interesting items for the Bulletin Board).
bullet participating in TWEN online discussion after class.
bullet Discussion Questions.  You should email me two discussion questions every  Tuesday morning  by : 9:00 a.m. My email address is: randall@udayton.edu. questions should explore the underlying value implications of the reading.   You may want to raise questions which will explore the point at which a value important to you is violated; to write question n which challenge the desirable or undesirable consequences of a position taken in the reading; to write questions which make analogies to other things that you have learned; or to write questions which explore the priorities being set by some aspect of the reading.
bullet Reading and critiquing each other papers
