I prepared as well as I could/should have for this Socratic Seminar.

I was an active, engaged listener by asking follow-up questions or making follow-up comments.
I paid attention to how much time I spoke in relation to others in my group.
I did not interrupt.
I did not put down the ideas of other students; instead, I would, if necessary, politely disagree.

I offered valuable insights that contributed to the understanding of the questions (heavily weighted).
