CLASS PARTICIPATION MEANS : This is a School Classroom, you are expected to participate in the traditional process of CLASSROOM EDUCATION - Reading the textbook material, discussing definitions, and current topics in Marketing that relate to the textbook material.
Marketing Education is a SCHOOL-TO-CAREER PROGRAM - Employers expect us to teach you SOFT SKILLS (EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS) to help you understand what is expected of you on the job and in college.
Excessive talking to neighbors, bringing up subjects that are not related to the textbook material, disruption of the Class, and especially ANYTHING THAT DISRUPTS THE ABILITY OF OTHER STUDENTS TO LEARN will LOWER YOUR CLASS PARTICIPATION GRADE.
