Class Participation

One of the biggest education-related projects that I've ever had to deal with was class participation. A lot of the teachers I've had between high school and college count participation as a major portion of our grade. I remember not doing entire projects in high school because I was scared of having to present it to the class. Which consequentially led to my not doing well. It seems to have changed a little bit in college, although I still feel traces of it. For example, today in English, I didn't have a bit of problem talking about a short story I had read. However, in history, I felt as though I was reluctant to speak out in class. Like anything, I guess, it changes from situation to situation. Looking back, I sort of see a difference in that in English all eyes were on me. However, in history is was a call-out-the-answer sort of deal. It's funny; I thought it would be the opposite. Most of the time it's more difficult when everyone is staring at you, but I seem to do better that way.
