Hello everyone! I have been struggling with the way I assess classroom participation. In the past I have generally given everyone full credit for participation despite the fact that my class (economics, yes I know) tends to divide into two groups; those who participate and often "carry" the class, and those who participate very little. I already use rubrics in other aspects and I am excited to apply a rubric to grade class participation. However I have some questions, mainly (1) does anyone use a rubric for grading their students class participation? (2) do you use an general or a holistic rubric for assessment of classroom participation. Which should I use if one works best? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. I'm looking forward to any help I can get on this issue. RoN
