Trevors Participation

1) Everyone knows that Darrin and I are not shy about speaking our minds. Because of this we have had many debates over the discussions in class. Most of the time we are like ying and yang but we have agreed on some issues. I do believe that we have attributed more than our share to the class.
2) Due to the fact that I have not missed a day (that's right gang Big Dow has perfect attendence) I believe that I have meet the attendence requirements. I would like to thank my mom for this. She was the one to get my lazzy butt out of bed all of those days. She is a true Dow
3) My quiz average is 97.5 . I hope my grade in the class is that high. I would like to thank my mother for this as well. She also made me study instead of enjoying college life.
4) I have only had a few loud outbursts during heated discussions. I try to keep quiet during reading or learning time. I hope I never distracted anyone from their work but if I did, I am sorry. Please do not appologize to me, I have distracted many people in the past. Do not be ashamed, You are only human

Reflection

I think I can honestly say that I enjoyed this class. That statement can only stand by itself because of my previous dislike for all classes in which "literature" or "composition" was inclulded somewhere in the course title. I feel like not only did I learn about my writing, but I learned about different the different styles of persuasion, and how to recognize them.

PARTICIPATION GRADE

I believe that I deserve a 98 for my participation grade. It would be a 99.9, but I did miss a few classes. I have voiced my opinion on all issues discussed in this class even if nobody else agreed with my belief. I was willing to help people if they needed my help and I put effort into my work.

Emma's Participation

I think that i participated quite a good bit in this class. I feel like i added to the discussions and expressed what i thought or asked questions during them to verify things. I feel like i really tried to take part during the discussions. While sometimes i was a little quiet because i wasnt really sure what i wanted to say, other times i said what was on my mind.

I also attended every single class. I never even skipped one single class. I made a point to be early or at least on time and i always waited until class was dismissed to leave. ((Except for today, i have to leave 15 min. early because i have to go to work)).

I also completed all of the quizzes and im almost positive i did well on all of them except for maybe, possibly one quiz.

I really wasnt disruptive during class. I mean sure i may have said a few words to someone sitting next to me, but i mean no one is perfect and everyone talks during class at some point in time. The only exception to this is that one time i was doodling on a sheet of paper and i wrote a few sentences to Alllie and mr. keleher asked me not to do that anymore, and after that i really really tried to be on my best behavior during this class. I feel like after that incident i really did do better.

Overall i feel like i should get a low to mid A in this class for the participation part.

Participation & Me!

Grade: A+
Why:
I believe I deserve this high participation score because of my obvious interest in our discussions. I always participate in class and enjoy debating controversial ideas. I feel I am someone that is heard every class period. On top of that I have been to EVERY class. I may have been tardy once or twice, but it was not on purpose! Regarding quiz grades, I scored accordingly with the work I did. I believe there was one quiz I absolutely BOMBED because I legitimately forgot to do the reading assignment. Overall I did fairly well on quiz grades. Now on the topic of being disruptive or distracted in class...I plead guilty! Only because I truly enjoy spending time with this learning community! I blame any deductions from my participation grade on Kim! I had to read a note she passed me!! : )

Darrin's participation

I believe that at the beginning of the semester (the first 2-3 days) i was not properly participating in class. I was not used to the setup of a colledge course but i quickly caught on. I believe that after a ruff start i began to flow well with this class. I speak in the discussions and am often one of the only ones. I did have a few absences but nothing that would take away from my learning experience. My quiz grades were all very good (maybe one bad one in there). I might have been a little disruptive but i believe i contributed much more than I took away. This class has been very enjoyable and I believe i have put forward A-B work.

My Participation Grade

Normally, in all of ENGL 1101 classes, I was quiet during class. I hardly participated in discussions. That's because I'm more of a science person and don't have a huge interest for language arts subjects. However, I did speak and articulate whenever I was told to. I definitely attended all classes and never missed a single one. During class, I was an attentive listener and never disrupted lectures or held chit-chats with colleagues. My quiz grades were satisfactory, one high, one low, so eventually they averaged to a satisfactory average. I did turn in all my work on time, took the opportunity of repeating drafts, and posted blogs whenever required. According to this self-description, I honestly believe I deserve a 16 or 17 out of 20.
