Participation is a critical component of any creative writing course. We learn from each other by sharing our thoughts on the readings and workshop pieces.

Grading Participation in a Creative Writing Course
It's difficult to assign a grade to participation. In general, I feel that the amount of participation is more important than the "quality" or "wit" of the comments. Creative writing is nebulous by nature - it's more important for us to say what we're thinking than it is to worry that we're saying the "right" thing. There are very, very few "right" answers when it comes to writing, but there are many good questions. Our goal in IFP is to explore these questions and some of the many approaches our writing can take as we respond.
Participation Scores
Participation is scored out of 100 points per unit (200 points total for the course). The grade is a combination of both in-class and online participation in the workshops and discussions. Online comments are required for all workshops. For the reading days, either posting online or making points in-class will count toward participation.
