16. Do I have to enter the Last Date of Participation field when entering final grades?

The "Last Date of Participation" field should only be entered for students assigned an "F" or "I" final grade. The date should be the last date on which the student either attended class or demonstrated "participation" in the class in some way such as turning in homework, turning in a paper, or taking an exam or quiz. Use whatever the most recent date was when the student indicated some form of participation in the class.
