If you’re my student…
February 1st, 2007
I’ve asked my Comp 1 and Intro to College students to start blogs this week. I didn’t really explain why very well.
If you’re a Comp 1 student, your blog is primarily a place to do some journalling, but in a fairly public setting. Starting next week, you’ll be required to post at least once a week. The post should be at least 150 words and can be about whatever you want, at first. Later, I may give you some directed topics - responses to things we read, for example. In addition, I’ll ask you to reply to at least two of your peers’ blogs each week. That way an audience gets manufactured. I may think of other ways to use this blog. You never know…
If you’re an Intro to College student, then your blog is a place where you’ll post some documents to help you make good decisions as you move toward completing a program of some kind. For starters, you’ll put some goals here. Later, we’ll check up on you to see if you’ve met any of your goals. You might create a resume here. You might do some career planning here. You might post something I haven’t thought of here. You never know…
Anyway, welcome! Stay tuned.
