Blog entries
After reading other people's comments on the blog I can see some people thought it was benefical and others like my self thought it was a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, I think having blog can be benefical. Being able to revisit topics after they are brought up in class is a positive. Knowing what your other classmates are thinking is another benefit. Also the ability for kids to speak their opinions about the class can be good, providing the professors read each comment and take into consideration the comments from the students. However, I think the way were being graded for our blog entries isn't right. I find my self waiting till the last minute then trying to put anything I can think of up just to get credit. In the future blogging might be better utilized by giving extra credit. That way people are coming into the system with something to say, they aren't writing just for a grade. Just a thought......

This does not appear to be the professor's fault or related to implementation, but maybe the way in which you tackled required assignments.
Have you never had a class that required regular writing or journal writings? This is nothing new in educational settings. We are just now seeing technology used to make the assignments more interactive with other classmates.
