As of December 15, the blogs to the right of this page will be in their "final" form for grading. Students were required to establish an identity as "expert" on any topic of their choice and signal that expertise using elements and formats commonly associated with the blog.
What research is required to take a general interest of an individual to the level of public expert? What level of engagement is necessary to draw a following? What basic rudiments of language must be made precise and "clean" to ensure the meaning and message remain unobstructed?
Some students found the process more challenging and motivating than others. From an instructor's perspective, the blog was a good means of summative evaluation -- all the feedback and exercises to date are expected to be reflected in this final product.
