Class participation self-evaluation

I just tripped over this self-evaluation for students that I think offers some interesting ideas about class participation and engagement. Does it make sense to you?

  • Did I thoughtfully respond at least once to a question during class this week?
    (Yes-2 points, Somewhat-1 point, No-0 points)

  • Did I provide at least two meaningful and constructive responses to other students' comments either in class or online?
    (Yes-2 points, Somewhat-1 point, No-0 points)

  • Did I read/pay attention to face to face or online discussions/lectures?
    (Yes-2 points, Somewhat-1 point, No-0 points)

If your score is lower than 4, the author believes that perhaps you need to re-think whether you're taking full advantage of the learning opportunities available in your courses.

Adapted from Patti Shank, The Online Learning Book.

I guess you could pose the question:

Can I make sense of the new information attained in the lecture/reading and think of a potential theoretical or practical usage for it?

If you got it, you prolly benefitted from the lecture/material. If you didn't, you didn't.

The points system there highlights some potential 'idicators' for this - but I think we agree saying something in class and knowing what you are talking about are two different things. Ditto for paying attention vs. comprehending.
