For me,
as a writer, a good posting is one where I have to consider something new about
a topic—the topic could be new to me or not; as long as there is a new twist
for me to consider and write about, then it is useful to me. On the other hand, the summaries of the
readings are also useful. They help me
to get the main points of the article.
It might also be interesting to
post a quick reaction, a couple of questions, or even a suggestion at the end,
just to get a discussion going.
As a
reader, I appreciate points of view that I have not considered before. It is nice when they are clearly written and
developed, and especially if there is something of the personal in the blog
post.
I like
to get any kind of comment, as a writer.
It actually makes me feel a little special to get a comment. Even if I know that the person had to make a
comment, I am flattered that s/he chose mine to comment on. It is especially nice when the commenter has
a question or a point to make that can add to the conversation. It can actually be fun to carry out a
discussion in that way.
I think
the blogs should not be evaluated. One of
the things I like best about blogging for this class is that they are fairly
free form. If we, as the students, start
worrying about a grade, I don’t think they will improve. I think our grade for the blogs should be
based on how many completed.
