Welcome!

This blog will be a place for you to log your progress in your research throughout the semester (a sort of online journal). Using your classmates as a research community, you will discuss your successes and difficulties in your process, and your classmates will offer support and their own best practices to help you improve your process.


Blogging is mandatory, as is respect for your fellow classmates. Each week, you will respond to a different prompt.

See the syllabus for the two different types of blog grading.

For this week's assignment, simply reply to this blog so that I know you are ready to get started.

Reminders:
  1. See D2L Newsfeed, under "Welcome!" for the Blogger sign-in process.
  2. You must be signed in to Google under a gmail account in order to post.
  3. Your blogging name must reflect your real name in order for you to receive credit (or you must sign your posts with your real name).
  4. Write your blog response in some kind of word processing document and then copy and paste it into the posting form for submission (Blogger is fallible and can lose assignments, but cannot be blamed for lost assignments).
  5. Spell-check, read-aloud, and edit your posts before submitting.
  6. No swearing. While the forum is meant to encourage freedom of speech, a certain amount of professionalism is expected.
