Participation Policies

Every week, you will be eligible for 2 participation credits. You will receive:

• 1 credit for attending one lecture and
• 1 credit for attending discussion
• 1 credit for going beyond with class content

You can earn 1 participation point per week by engaging with course content asynchronously (beyond class time). Examples include helping peers on Ed, discussing graphics outside class, attending graphics-related events, or applying class concepts in personal projects. A (soft) guideline for this option is that it should take around 30 minutes to an hour of involved work. Therefore, a one-sentence answer on Ed may not be enough unless the research behind this post took a significant amount of time. To receive credit, submit the participation Google Form, select “Asynchronous Participation,” and upload a screenshot showing your engagement.

You cannot receive more than 2 credits for a given week.
For example, you may attend both lectures for full credit. Another way to receive full credit would be to attend one lecture and one discussion. You could also go beyond with class content twice in the same week for full credit!

Taking attendance in lecture

We will distribute a Google form at a random time during lecture to take attendance. Please fill out the form only if you are present in the zoom meeting. Any sign of dishonesty will be regarded as a student misconduct and result in 0 participation credit throughout the semester.
