Section Grading Rubric

General grading categories:

Section grades are on a continuous scale from 0-100. Generally speaking, these ranges are what to expect:

• 100: Exceptional. Student is fully prepared and on time, and expresses insights that go beyond what is in the reading to synthesize concepts and connect to other course content or current events.
• 90: Good. Student is prepared and on time, and participates as expected. Most students should get a 90 most of the time.
• 80: Fair. Student is somewhat underprepared or does not participate adequately.
• 70: Poor. Student is underprepared and does not participate adequately.
• 60 or lower: Student is totally underprepared and does not participate.

• Being slightly late (10 minutes or less): 2 to 5 points
• Being very late (10 minutes or more): 10 to 100 points
• Being under-prepared
• Not actively participating in conversation
• Being rude/disrespectful of others
• Derailing the conversation by trying to participate when under-prepared
