Marking Rubric: Panel Discussion

Every week we will reserve 20 mins for a panel discussion based on the assigned reading for that day (4-5 papers). This discussion will include three types of roles: panel members, audience members, and a moderator. Each panel discussion will include 4-5 panel members, 1 moderator, and audience members. Panel members are responsible for answering questions, the audience is responsible for asking questions, and the moderator is responsible for steering the discussion and having backup questions if the audience is not asking any.
