Participation: Lack of Routine

I think participation is good, and should be included in classes like this, where most the material only comes during class time, but I feel the participation set-up isn't set up well. First, the system wasn't established until about a month in.  Originally we were supposed to email all our group members and then it was switched to be completed on Learning Suite. Since then, we've had many weeks where we weren't expected to respond. All of this was put in place after I felt like I understood the routine of the class and it still throws me for a loop. Participation feels like a sporadic event- Each week I feel I have to check if it’s necessary, and I always worry that I’ve missed one. We never got in a routine. 

Also, our classroom is a little too small for our class.  We’ve made the most of it, but I would have rather have enough chairs for the number of people in the class.  I didn’t pay tuition to sit on an up-side down trash can for an hour and a half.

Except for the above mentioned issues, I really enjoy the class and the way it’s run. I'm learning a ton about writing and how it is even applicable outside of formal papers!
