WRIT1152 Course Blog

Hi Everyone! Welcome aboard. This blog will be part of the online portion of our class, and we will use it to share ideas and drafts, respond to readings, and interact with each other to build community. Please take a few minutes to become comfortable with the site, bookmark it, and add its feed to your RSS reader. Don't know what an RSS reader is? Watch RSS In Plain English. Don't know what a blog is? Watch Blogs in Plain English.

The blog assignment is part of the syllabus which you can find at the course site.

A couple of suggestions as we get into the blog:

1. The blog is public. Anything you write here can be read by anyone else: family members, employers, significant others, etc. Therefore, please stay on task. Use the assignment for guidelines, do not flame each other, and treat this as a professional, public space where anyone can see what you've written.

2. This space is a formal part of the course, a space for engagement with issues generally, and a place to build relationships. When commenting on each others posts, please be on topic and don't flame.

3. You all have the power to create categories. Please add a descriptive category to your each of your posts by choosing it from the list. Create new ones as necessary, but use this power wisely. If your post fits in a pre-existing category, please use that one.

4. Have fun and be creative. Your effort and participation here will make this site work.

Happy posting!
