Discussion Evaluation Form
Carefully read and follow instructions at the top of the form.
Focus responses on the indicated topics (e.g., you vs. the class, strengths vs. weaknesses, understanding vs. talking). Students have a tendency to fill the entire form with comments about themselves. The last section is about the class, not about the person filling out the form.
Pledge the form. Submit it correctly.
Each week’s evaluation is due by 10 p.m. that Friday. Late forms are NOT accepted.
Evaluations are required, not optional.
The instructor provides feedback on each form; individual forms (like individual discussions) are not graded. Evaluations contribute to the mid-semester and end-of-course discussion grades.
Good Writing

Sample Paper
As this former student’s paper (used with her permission) demonstrates, it is possible to present the central argument of a book (and thus a much shorter article) in one page. The keys are understanding the article and keeping focus.
