Blogging

Students:

So far there has not been much enthusiasm for posting, which I understand. But I wanted to quickly suggest some of the types of things to consider posting, especially as the class progresses.

• Comments or questions related to class readings or lectures
• Questions about the midterm. Obviously I can't say what will be on it but feel free to send in your questions as you are preparing for the exam.
  
• Experiences in the research project. One thing I'd especially like to see are some of your experiences in the field doing research so that your colleagues can benefit from your successes and frustrations. Any of the following could be valuable to someone else, either as things to emulate or failures to avoid:
• Research sources--online, journals, books, news media, etc
• Sources for visual materials--atlases, encyclopedia, etc
  
• How to relate your topic to the class' themes
• Putting together a PowerPoint presentation of your findings

And remember, even if you don't feel like posting to this space, you can send me an email and we can discuss.

Good luck
