Blogging Grades

Ok, I'm going back to April 1st and regrading all the posts and comments for the first three weeks of this month. I will take your total number of posts between 4/1 and 4/24 (to midnight) and create three new grading slips.

Please reread the rubric. Quality counts. If you are going to post a comment that basically says nothing more than I agree with the previous post you are not going to get as many points as you would if you add something of substance. Please be aware that it is like anything else in your life, you get back in proportion to what you put in. You wouldn't expect to get playing time in your sport without practice or get a raise at your job without showing effort; you wont get a good blogging grade without putting in some thought.

I'm not going to dump this as an activity because some of you don't like it. I think it is a useful part of the class and it gives us an opportunity to learn and discuss things we don't always have time for. If you are having a hard time finding time to participate come and talk to me about an alternate assignment that you could do that would be substantively similar.
