  1. Ask a question <\/b>This is the easiest way to pretend to engage with the reading you did not do. The question does not have to be good — the goal is to be heard and noted by your professor. Add in some random words like \u201cto what extent\u201d and \u201cimpact\u201d and \u201csociety\u201d and you\u2019re well on your way to scamming a decent participation grade. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u201cActually in another class I am taking this quarter…\u201d<\/b> This is a standard but reliable go to for students who did not want to read another hundred pages of Adam Smith talking about money or whatever. Gold medals should be given to students who can vaguely connect their Global Warming class to their Self discussion. Disclaimer: this phrase does rely heavily on the assumption that you have done the reading for another class. This might be an unrealistic expectation if you are reading this article.\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u201cIn 2020…\u201d <\/b>I am sure if this 17th century philosopher came back to life hundreds of years later in the 21st century they would have a lot of things to say! However, I am not sure their first comment would be about Instagram and its impact on mental health. It would probably either be fifteen minutes of continuous screaming or them repeatedly yelling the phrase \u201cDIE WITCH DIE!\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. \u201cJust to piggy-back off of what *insert name here* said\u201d <\/b>This is the W*tson and Cr*ck of things to say in SOSC. It perpetuates the long-held truism of \u201cif you cannot come up with anything original to say, then plagiarize a woman by saying exactly what she said but louder.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Personal anecdote<\/b> If Shakespeare said, \u201cAll the world\u2019s a stage\u201d then I believe that \u201cAll the world\u2019s your finsta.\u201d Want to talk about that weird thing that happened to you last week? Then bring it up during your SOSC discussion. Self-care can be as simple as pinning your square on Zoom and treating everything you say in class like you\u2019re complaining on your private story.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
