This will be our class blog for the semester. You should have already
received an invitation for how to join this blog as an author. You can
find instructions on TRACS for setting up your account.
On days when a reading has
been assigned, you are expected to come to class prepared to engage in a
conversation with the text and your peers. To help you prepare for these
conversations, I will post reading questions to TRACS under the assignments
tab. You will be expected to respond to these questions with either a blog
entry or a blog comment. Your assigned peer group’s schedule will dictate
whether you are responsible for a full blog entry or only a blog comment. The
peer group that has been assigned to lead discussion for the day will
responsible for posting that week’s blog entries, while all other peer groups
are responsible for responding with blog comments. Though these grades are
largely for completion, additional points may be gained by more thorough and
thoughtful responses, and points may be deducted for incomplete or sloppy work
or for work that shows little to no engagement with the text. Blog Entries must
be a minimum of 350 words. They must be posted by midnight preceding class.
Blog comments must be a minimum of 250 words, and they must be posted by class
time the day the reading is due. Blog entries and comments will make up a
significant portion of the Drafts and Blogs grade. In order to receive full
credit for these assignments, blog entries and comments must be posted to the
class blog by their deadline as well as printed out in hard copy form to bring
to class. Late blogs and comments will not be accepted for credit. I will also
not accept blog entries or comments via email.
