The rubric scores students on their participation in class discussions from -1.5 to 3. A score of 3 is for a "Scholar" who comes prepared, initiates discussion with thoughtful questions, and is an active listener. A score of 2 is for a "Student" who seeks clarification, participates regularly, and listens respectfully. A score of 1 is for a "Class Member" who is attentive, comes prepared, and participates if called on. Lower scores are for students who are distracted, disruptive, or unprepared.
