Syllabus Planning
I like the idea of putting more emphasis on homework and tests for the syllabus. I think that the class should correct half of a graded assignment while Dr. Johnson would provide his input for the other half. Participation should be more than just showing up to class and raising your hand. It should also be providing intelligent, useful information for the group discussions as well as listening attentively. The final project should be a significant part of the final grade but its total grade should be the sum of the class's grading and Dr. Johnson's grading. Another idea is to have the group anonymously grade each other for participation.

I like the idea of having participation a big portion of the grading system because it seems in this class so far the students are comfortable with sharing their ideas and input. Participation is not just about raising your hand it is contributing towards the classes further education by sharing your thoughts on the given subject. I am not a test taker and I love the idea of tests not counting as much towards the final grade.
