Guidelines for Posts

Each post needs to be a "free write." In other words, I will not be "grading" you on grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Your typing ability should not impact your grade for this portion of your final grade.

I expect each post to be quite lengthy -- around 250 words (ask if you do not know how to cut/paste into Word to do a word count). Each post should show me that you have adequately reviewed the assigned readings. Your opinion matters to me and should show through in your comments. I will NOT mark you down for having an opinion that differs from mine (either as a person, or as a teacher). I WILL mark you down for not answering the following question: WHY? No opinion is valid in writing unless you answer that question.

Above all, address what I ask you to address in the assignment for the week and try to avoid tangental thinking and writing.
