<p>For my health course, my professor has Attendance/Participation as 5% of our grade. In the beginning of the course, I vaguely remember him saying that if you just come to class each lecture and you are engaged in class, the 5% is easy to earn (nothing is elaborated in the syllabus). However, throughout the class, there has been this one girl, who took him before for another health class and is chummy with him, and she answers every question, sometimes without even raising her hand and sometimes he just picks on her when other people's hands are raised. During break time, he even started talking to her about their shared interest in indie rock and he kept whispering to her how thankful he was that she was participating and keeping the class alive. How rude! He only knows this girl's name and maybe 2 other people's names out of 30 students. When the rest of us do get to raise our hand and answer a question, he just points at us to answer, without saying our name. How in the world is he going to give the 5% if he doesn't know our names? Should I be worried about this or am I overreacting? I remember my hs history professor saying the best time to participate is toward the end of the semester, when you are still fresh in his mind? I still have 3 weeks left. What do you guys think?</p>
