Abstract: One of the most successful ways to motivate student participation is to avoid grading their participation. After studying how students are assessed in Culinary Arts and Music courses, I have applied the focus on grading student professionalism in order to inspire more student participation. In Culinary Arts and Music courses, students are rated on their equipment or instrument cleanliness, general appearance, and how they move within their respective spaces. These focal points, and others, have inspired me to create my own criteria for Professionalism Points in my courses, which has increased student participation in first-year and upper level courses.
