I also find participation annoying. I’m paying for college, I can make the decision of whether or not to go to class. If your lecture is so useless that nobody comes without forcing them there with attendance, then you’re doing something wrong. If people fail because they’re not going to class, they’re adults, and if they’re capable of passing college, they’ll change their behavior.

I feel rude going to a class I don’t want to, because I have to sign a sheet or have my name checked off, and falling asleep or not paying attention. But hey, I would choose to not be there if 25% of my grade didn’t matter on my body being there.

If participation is used for borderline grades, thats all good, but I think its annoying in most instances.
