Day 1 of bootcamp out instructor said everything will be graded, reporting, behavior, attendance, participation, especially participation... but i was never one of those students who always raised their hands in class but to survive, i will need to .. Tomorrow is another day, hope i get the courage to speak up Does anyone have the same problems before?

Yep, Don't double think yourself too much. Just do it.

Do not be too shy, raise your hand and do not hesitate to speak up.

Better still, raise hand, and if the teacher asks, well I taught you that answer last evening, didn't I? May be you can now explain what I explained to you.

I feel you. When I was a student, I hate having to raise my hand. I'd rather have them give us a quiz instead of me participating in a group activity.

I guess you have no choice now to participate.

That no choice thing is so bad in this world.

Yes I never liked to speak up in class either or anywhere for that matter. I'm getting better at it though and I speak up at work when something is wrong or i need help.

Don't hesitate to speak up, we are entitled for our opinions (if the recitation calls for opinion). Go for it! Good luck, go can do it.

Woohoo. same here, I hate participating in class or any plays or acts. I just do not like it. I am more of the planner type an organizing type but to be the front act, no way for me. ut of course as a student, we really do not have much of a choice. Sorry but you have to try to participate. I am pretty sure you can do it.
