Class participation |
You can get up to two extra points for class participation by interactively answering the questions posed during lecture. This is intended to encourage active listening and lecture participation. Please do not answer questions or ask for participation points on a day when you do not participate in the live lecture.
To get credit for class participation, please register for the class with the Poll Everywhere service. You must register under your McMaster email so that we will know who you are.
Poll Everywhere says that there is no additional fee beyond your regular texting fee. In the event that you have trouble with fees, you can try the web interface instead.
If you are unable or unwilling to use Poll Everywhere, you can get credit by sending Dushoff an email with comments, thoughts or ideas related to each missed question (not simply the answers, since it's sort of too late for that) by 4 PM on class day. This should be done only if you have actively engaged with the lecture.
If you participate consistently, you will receive 2 points on your grade. Allowances will be made for difficulties starting up PollEverywhere. If your participation is inconsistent, your 2 points will be pro-rated.
