CS373 - Class Discussion Process

General Process for Class Discussions

Overview

Participation in class discussions is expected and part of your course grade. If you have challenges in this setting, please let the instructor know.

Process

Throughout the course, we will conduct classroom discussions on a variety of topics. The general flow will be:

1. Come to class prepared: Complete the assignment (Reveal and other assignments).
2. Participate in small-group discussions: Contibute by speaking and actively listening.
3. Report small-group highlights to the whole class: Each student is encouraged to report for the group, as opportunities arise throughout semester.
4. Broad whole-class discussion to identify emerging themes and synthesize key points.
