Course Commitment&Engagement accounts for 5% of your Final Grade, and is based upon your preparation and participation throughout the semester as observed by your professor and SI Leader, if any. Most, but not all, students’ Course Commitment&Engagement grade will approximately equal their overall course grade, however, if a student demonstrates consistent commitment and engagement to the course, his or her Course Commitment&Engagement grade may be higher than his or her overall grade. Conversely, if a student demonstrates a lack of commitment to the course, his or her Course Commitment&Engagement grade may be lower than his or her overall grade.
