Written by I took a short break from grading portfolios to finish grading Blog Report #5 so you can keep moving ahead with your remaining blog reports and your research paper.
Overall, everyone did very well. For those of you who hit all the key marks, I used a bit of boilerplate language in your feedback. I added individual comments where needed, but in general this was strong work across the board.
Please keep in mind that Blog Report #5 can do double duty. It gives you material that can be remixed and reused in your research paper, even if it needs some revision and reshaping to fit that assignment well. It may also become a useful artifact for your ePortfolio, especially because it shows your early understanding of learning theory in the program through your use of course material such as the Booth article.
One important reminder as you move toward the final paper: pay very close attention to the word-count limits. The maximum word count is firm, and papers that go over will lose points. Please plan ahead so you can revise for both content and length.
Keep going—you are making good progress.
