The score derived from in-class exercises—conducted with students taking on the role of the teacher—will be determined by dividing the total points by the number of exercises performed. For instance, if each student participates in two exercises, the total score for each exercise will be 30.
The score for each activity will be determined by dividing the score for the number of activities participated in in class by the number of activities most frequently performed.
For students who do not have mandatory attendance, the Class Participation Score will be calculated by averaging the midterm and final exam grades.
Rules
If the report regarding the in-class teaching activity is not submitted, the points awarded for participation in the roles of teacher and student will be excluded from the evaluation.
