Discussions are how students earn participation grades.1 I will use Google Doc discussion pages as a reference when calculating participation grades, so please put your name (first and last) before your responses. If you are working as a part of a group please indicate somewhere the members of the group for the day.
I appreciate being able to use Google Docs for discussions because they allow students to participate from other locations if necessary and give a place for reviewing what others had to say on the matter for examples and insight. However, the down-side is that these are live documents. Though it is unlikely others will visit the pages, anyone with a link will have access to them. So, please be aware of what you are posting and times you may want to opt out.
If participating from a remote location, you must post to the discussion before or during the regularly scheduled class time. You may not make-up participation after the day of the class.

- Please note that since the discussions are public forums and I value your right to privacy, you always have the option to opt-out of Google Doc discussions. Please see me if you would like to do so and you may turn in discussions on paper or by some other private method. ↩
