Over the course of the term, and before Friday, April 1, each member of this class is required to make five blog-style posts responding to concepts and readings we discuss in class. I will set up a Google Group, and will invite every member of the class to join. Once you accept this invitation, you can post freely to the group, either by starting your own discussion thread, or by responding to a pre-existent thread. If you have a blog of your own already, you can also provide links to relevant posts you have made. I will not be correcting, editing or grading your posts. The point of this exercise is to foster discussion and exchange. For each post you make, you will receive two points on your final grade, to a maximum of ten points. Please feel free to post as many times as you'd like -- there is no maximum, and the group -- while closed to the public -- is open to any member of the class to contribute as they like. Please be respectful in your interchanges with others.
