If you add up the percentages in the assignment section you
will realize that they do not add up to 100%. They only at up
to85%. The other 15% comes from class participation. I hope to do
as much discussion in the class as possible, but discussion requires that more
than I talk. Thus, first you need to be in class. Second,
you need to add to the class discussions, talk without being called on, and
actively use your intelligence to contribute to the class.
