Participation and Group-work Credit

Give credit based on participation during the lab:

During the pre-lab (answering questions, etc). Note that it's hard to get everyone every week, here.
In their groups. Do they work well as a group? Do they fight or goof-off?
Group-work is learned, so you'll need to explain to them what makes a good group
An Excel printout of the class roster with columns for participation makes for quick record-keeping.
