Student is attentive, always responds when called on.
Has trouble when called on , does not volunteer often. I enter into my gradebook a participation grade after each class. There will be a sign up sheet for students to choose and research the subject of interest. Students will then come to class with relevant books, articles, or websites and give a presentation of the topic. Such materials will be incorporated into the course materials for future reference.
