Guidelines for weekly participation
- Weekly participation involves discussion in ad-hoc groups of 3 to 5 people
- Discussion may occur in class, in zoom during class time, during zoom outside of class time or asynchronously on a D2L discussion thread
- Ad-hoc participation groups vary week to week; they are unrelated to project teams
- In-class participation (in-person and by zoom) will be
organized by the instructor; remaining discussions are
self-organized (more guidelines and suggestions will surely
follow)
- Each discussion group should produce one thread as in the D2L discussion topic labeled "Weekly Activity Reports". Here are guidelines for posting a report:
- Any group member can post the initiating thread
- The thread title should include the week number and something about the discussion (e.g. 'Week 1 discussion: Rating preferences'). The part after the colon can highlight anything from your discussion
- The text of the thread should include group members, a summary of the discussion (one paragraph is fine) and any additional remarks you would like to add (e.g. how and when the discussion happened)
- To account for the participation of all members, all those who did NOT post the thread can reply to it, adding any additional comments or just confirming participation
