Part of the academical criteria for grading in the LBS MBA is that you must contribute in class. Well, this may not be a problem for extroverts; however, my concern is for those introverts who may not even come from a business background. How challenging this may be for them.

I am not a shy person, but I usually prefer to listen in class, digest and read again later. As much as possible, I tend not to speak in class while the facilitator is on. But with this LBS class participation rule, I have no other option but to try and always say something in class. Now the problem is not about contributing something, but contributing what makes sense! This is because negative participation does not count and may take out some of your marks. 

Hmmm… In a bid for survival, I just had to always say something in class, sometimes even if its just to further emphasize what someone has already said or simply agree to someone’s statement; citing example where need be. Las las, na to sha get my mark for participation na im I dey find.
