Participation means coming to class and contributing there.
The quality and quantity of your contributions are evaluated, as well as your preparation for class sessions. Naturally, one must attend class in order to participate. Because every assignment is important to your development as a writer and researcher, you must submit all assignments in order to complete the course, even if your grade would be 0. Class time is very productive in a course like this, and so attendance at each class is mandatory. Missing class will result in point deductions from your class participation grade.
