My syllabus language for the blog changed ever so slightly. Here it is:
Blog
Each student needs to
create a blog. You will create one blog post per week (starting week 2 through
week 12) in response to readings. You will also need to comment on other
students’ blogs. We will try to use Blackboard to share our posts with each
other. Blog posts are usually 200-300 words, but you are welcome to write more.
Comments need to demonstrate that you read the post you are commenting on.
These will be graded on completion unless there is a clear lack of effort.
The blog serves a few
purposes. One is that it acts as a journal and helps students get their
thoughts out of their heads into word form. Blogs should also create, in
students, some sense of accountability because the blog posts will be on the
web for the world to see.
If you have a spare moment, I would appreciate you reading a student's blog now and then, maybe even leaving a comment.
