You are like Mary Poppins practically perfect in every way.

In order
to get an A you need to be prepared for class every day, ask good ques-
tions during lectures and discussion groups, and demonstrate a desire to
learn on a daily basis. You must also always be on task. All assigned
reading must be finished and your knowledge of the works must be ob-
vious. It should also be clear that you are consistently engaged in the
note-taking-for-learning process, and timely and helpful at giving feed-
back on Eli. You read every day and share suggestions with peers.
You are an asset to the class.

You have your moments of brilliance, but may not be consistent enough
to earn an A. Earning a B means that you are not quite working to
your potential, but you take care of the basic things that are asked of
you. Your participation in discussion groups is adequate. You are gen-
erally on-task. All assigned reading is finished but you may not follow-
up on the works with questions. You may need to prepare more thor-
oughly by using the note-taking-for-learning process. You read when
asked to, but do not seek good books independently. You are fre-
quently an asset to the class.

You could do a better job of being prepared for class. You participate
sporadically, and may be off-task during discussion groups, note-taking,
activities, lectures, or projects. It has been obvious on-occasion that
you are not engaged with the course material. You need to work hard-
er to participate and be prepared for class. Assigned reading is not al-
ways completed and you have a limited independent reading life. Your
lack of participation in class can be a liability at times.

You are frequently unprepared for class. You may also be frequently off-
task, and your behavior may be negative. Your behavior may be dis-
tracting to the other members of the class. You avoid reading, and evade
engaging with peers in Eli. Your lack of participation in class is a
liability.
