I have found a drop in class participation in not only this class, but most of my others as well. I have also noticed a drop in participation in previous semesters around midterm and finals. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, or if it has just been a coincidence. However, it seems to me, a lot of people just get burnt out around this time. I think students are often more overloaded juggling schoolwork and their lives outside of school around these times. Many students get excited about school at the start of the semester - then reality kicks in and they start doing just the bare minimum to get by.
As a class, I think we could all make more of an effort to respond during class discussion, come to class often and prepared and participate on the blog. I don't think the participation drop has anything to do with this particular class. I expect, since we are getting to an easier point in our schedule, participation to go up soon.
