If you’re my student…

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.
