What are your class participation requirements?

The first step is to determine what you require for students to earn class participation points. It may be helpful to use a rubric for class participation. Rubrics are a great way to assess students for class participation objectively. Plus, students know exactly what is required of them.

How many points are given for class participation?

Next, determine how many participation points per class a student can earn. Class participation points will affect students' overall grades, so it's essential to decide how class participation will impact your course's grades.

How much weight will participation count towards the overall grade?

If you use weighted grades for your course, you need to determine how much class participation will affect students' overall grades.

Weighted Grades Example:

10% Class Participation

20%. Assignments

30% Quizzes

50% Tests
