to our class blog. I hope you'll find it a useful place to try out new ideas and to exchange valuable feedback with your classmates. You'll be required to post approximately 5 inquiries and 5 responses (see sidebar for details) during the course of the semester. Because of this requirement, I have deliberately kept readings relatively short. I want you to have time to read closely and respond thoughtfully to the ideas of authors and classmates. Your postings will constitute 20% of your final grade. They will be graded on content--not on grammar, usage, etc.
Disagreement is productive and useful; please don't shy away from it. You can express divergent views in a respectful and humble way that will benefit all of us.
In order for these postings to be useful, rather than just another hassle-for-a-grade, you should ask questions that you're genuinely curious about. Also, try to relate your inquiries and responses to the project you're working on when possible. Take risks, stretch your thinking, try new things with your writing, and reap the benefits of your classmates' ideas! Feel free to link, as well, to any video, audio, or text that you want to share with the class.
If you're not sure where to begin, feel free to check out some other inquiry/response postings by following the links at the right.
Happy blogging,
Laura
