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 6.  Discuss at least 2 things you learned.

2). Please discuss, in detail, what you learned from reading Chapter 7.  Discuss at least 2 things you learned.

3). Pick one concept from either text, not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it. Use either Chapter 6 or Chapter 7.

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.


MIDTERM: As a reminder, the midterm exam is next week. It will cover chapters 1-7, 9 & 11. Please start studying early. You are more than welcome to study in groups, but the midterm is AN INDIVIDUAL EXAM. Please do not share questions/answers with anyone - you must work alone on the exam.
