Written by Greetings all – After your Introductory post, your next five blog entries are an important part of the Blog Reports assignment. As noted in our getting started posts, you will use your blog on the Community Site blogging platform in this class. The posts will include substantial content, citations, and reflective thinking. These blog posts should form the basis of parts of your research paper and are worth 25 points total. Your final course reflection is worth 2 points as is your intro post.
I will post reminders about blogging as part of our weekly Introductions, but for now here are some action items to help you get started.
Action Items:
- Be sure to look at the Assignment Helper for insights and details on writing each post.
