Purpose: MSMIT relies on collaborative learning. We want you, and the other professionals, to share their knowledge and experiences, which we call “Contributions to Class Learning” (CCLs). We reward those individuals who have helped the most by increasing their participation grades.

Task: A CCL is a concise (one or two lines) description of how somebody else has helped you academically in the program. It is a tangible way to say “thank you!”

Examples:

Melissa gave good clarifying examples of budgeting constraints when we discussed the Stryker Corporation in class.

Jake’s comments on Cisco helped me understand network meshing. He also spent extra time discussing the topic in-depth with me during the break.

While we appreciate students who organize carpools, tell good jokes, or bring pizza, those actions do not count as CCLs because they do not contribute to learning – sorry!

Criteria: At the end of the Mod, the faculty will examine the CCLs that you received from others and, if warranted, marginally raise your participation grade. We might even give you a small bump if you have been a top CCL writer.

Tip: Write at least 3 CCLs each class day.
