Criteria
for the evaluation of in-class participation
Below
you will find the scale by which I will evaluate your class participation, which
is 10 percent of your final grade. It
is up to you to decide what grade you would like to receive in participation. Of
course, I hope that you will want to earn all 10 points. Please keep in mind the
following:
§
Any
student, no matter their skill level, is capable of receiving all 10 points, you
just have to consistently make serious attempts at participating as specified
below.
§
I
can only evaluate what I observe. If you don’t participate because you are
shy, I can’t give you points, because I will have nothing to evaluate. Please
come talk to me if you have anxiety about speaking in class; I can give you tips
to overcome this.
§
Don’t
wait until the end of the semester to begin to participate. The grade is
assessed based on your participation throughout
the semester.

I
came prepared to class everyday. ·
I
always greeted and took leave of my professor and classmates using Spanish
expressions. ·
I
frequently volunteered to participate in class discussions when my
professor asked for volunteers. ·
I
always tried very hard to use Spanish in class, and I only used English
after asking for permission, and after I attempted to express myself in
Spanish. ·
My
contributions to class discussions and group work were significant and had
a positive impact on the class. ·
When
I was having trouble with course material I always asked questions and
actively sought help from my instructor or a tutor. |

I

I
sometimes greeted and took leave of my professor and classmates using

I would volunteer to participate in class discussions, I only did so if no
one else volunteered and my professor begged for volunteers.

occasionally used English, especially in pair and group work or without
attempting to express myself in Spanish first. ·
My
contributions to class discussions and group work were average, sometimes
significant, and sometimes insignificant, but more often than not they
were significant and had a positive impact on the class. ·
When
I was having trouble with course material I only occasionally would ask
questions or seek help from my instructor or a tutor. ·
