Participation Guidelines

Your basic in-class participation score (7.5 points) is based on the following criteria: interaction with other students in English, attentiveness and preparedness. For example, if you sleep for an entire class, you will lose 1 point. Your basic in-class participation score is calculated by multiplying your raw basic in-class participation score by the proportion of classes that you actually attended.

Other examples of things you are not good participation:

not engaging all other students in the class

making no attempt to communicate in English

using your cell-phone during class time

talking while the teacher is talking

leaving the class repeatedly during class time

not bringing the student book to class

not completing the homework activities from the book

The second part of your in-class participation (2.5 points) is based on your contributions in class. For example, if you never answer any questions or ask any questions in front of the class, you will not earn points for contributions.

A further 5 points of your participation score is based on two Kakao Talk group discussions. Each Kakao Talk group discussion will last for a week. To earn full points, you need to contribution one meaningful on-topic message a day (excluding weekends and public holidays).
