You get a score ranging from 0-5. It would be a good practice to score yourself on CP everyday. At the end of the semester, you would have a sound basis to arrive at a self-evaluated score. These points are added to the points you get during case discussions to arrive at the final CP score for the semester. It is not just the frequency but also the quality of participation that is important.
Students often give a phrase or a statement of opinion in response to a question.
This needs to be backed up with facts, analysis, or an explanation for the statement. Apart from this, CP also includes being involved in the in-class group exercises. When you break into smaller groups for a discussion, be involved in thinking and expressing your views. When you bring in experiences from work or international background this contributes real learning to the class by making concrete any points that are discussed. Do not just repeat a point of view already stated.
