Do participation marks in university discriminate against introverts? It’s a question third-year BJ student Emma Tranter decided to explore in her in-depth reporting class.
She found a growing chorus of educators and students are 
questioning whether class participation – one of the pillars of postsecondary evaluations – really measures achievement or simply reflects a personality trait. In today’s competitive academic environment, the stakes are high in this debate: Marks for participation may account for a quarter or more of a student’s final grade.
Emma’s story, Points for participation? It’s not so easy for introverts, appeared April 19 in University Affairs magazine, where it quickly rose to third on the publication’s “most-read” list that week.
