Week of October 17th - October 23th

Hello Folks!

Here is what is listed on the Participation Page from D2L for this week.

Due this week:
*Read Chapter 8: General Claims
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*The second group paper is due this Saturday. Please have ONE group member email me the final paper by Saturday, October 23, 2010 by 11:59pm.

Discussion Questions:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE.

1).Please discuss, in detail, what you learned from reading Chapter 8.  Discuss at least 2 things you learned.
Please explain the concepts and give a personal example or personal story for each.

2). Since we are almost finished with assignment #2, please discuss the usefulness of the first or second major course assignment. Use specific examples.

3). Pick one concept in the class that we have covered so far in the class that you think needs further discussion.  Please do some additional web research on that particular topic and discuss what you have found.  Include weblinks in your blog post so the class can see what you have researched, and so the class can gain greater understanding of that particular topic.  (Note:  You might want to go back and read through your blog to see what you found difficult to understand from simply reading the book.  This will help you understand that topic a little more thoroughly, and help others in the class understand a bit more too - it's called community learning).  :) 

Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Sunday and 11:59pm on Saturday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://comm41fall2010.blogspot.com/ and look under the section YOU ARE ENROLLED IN to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Sunday and ending Saturday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words.

Until later......

The Blogging Prof.
