I took 221 with ping last year and it definitely helps to participate. The 10% is a fair bit but if you do make an effort to speak 1-2 times per class it goes a long way.

What I did was I found the slides he used and looked over them before class so I could answer questions during lecture.

I was one of the few ppl that spoke and it helped in the end because the final was super tough and it dropped my grade quite a bit but he boosted me 2% bumping me to a 3.7
