Blog assignment
After reviewing the first two weeks of blog posts, I have decided upon the following simple guidelines to insure that the blogs post overall have the desired level of thought and complexity and to insure equity in the evaluation process.
- Blog posts may vary in length, but by the end of the semester the lengths should break down as follows: 1/3 of posts 500 or more words; 1/3 250 - 500 words; 1/3 100 - 250 words.
- At least half of your posts should contain links to and/or discussion of outside sources–the source can be words or images. Original photographs or other visuals you create for your blog post can substitute for an outside source.
- All blogs should be either informative or critical. That is, the purpose should be to either provide readers with useful information on the topic/issue or to provide a critique or analysis of the topic/issue.
