Nonparticipation, or not being there, that will lower your participation grade.

不参与，或是不出勤，那将会扣分。

So it's really a training ground for the final paper, and we have found that people don't succeed in the course in the final paper without the training they get in section discussion, which is why section participation is worth ten percent of your grade.

所以讨论课也是为期末测试而训练的一个基础部分,我们曾发现没有在讨论课上的训练学生是没法,通过期末考试的，这也是为什么讨论课,的出勤率占你们分数的百分之十的原因。

So, as I put it, in fact I think I put it this way on the syllabus, participation--and here I mean respectful participation, not hogging the limelight... participation can improve your grade, but it won't lower your grade.

所以，像我这么陈述的，事实上，我想我用这种方式在课程表上，参与，在这里我是指尊重的参与，而不是想出风头的那种。,参与能够加分，而不会使你的分数变少。
