Participation statement

Please note that class participation requires not only attending class, but attending class prepared to participate in discussions on the material assigned for each day and then actually participating in those discussions. Feminist theory, as we shall see throughout the semester, is participatory. Students will assess their participation this semester in short written statement--which includes description of their work in class and outside of class about feminist theories.

 A written statement in which you explain by concrete, specific examples how you have earned the following points:

10 = regular attendance in class and regularly ready for class--have done the readings, participated in class discussions, been supportive of colleagues as they ask and answer questions, served as a guide for readings, etc. List the topics for which you have been a guide.

10 = how you have used the topics, texts, and activities outside the classroom--conversations, news reports, related it to other classes, other activities, etc.

Award yourself the points-- 20 total possible.
