graded blog posts.

I am not a fan of graded blog posts. They have to be written on specific ideas which leads to many posts generally saying the same things. I liked at the beginning of the year when we were told that we just had to post at least twice a week regarding literature. It leaves a lot more wiggle room for new ideas and less generic, more authentic posts. Those are much more enjoyable to both write and read.

Well I think of them in terms of a blog post versus an essay. So it becomes every once in a blue moon having to do a constructed response, of which is rather vague to begin with...Versus a standard essay...Then in between that you can do all the posts you want.

Fine. I expect a five page, double-space, typed essay detailing some aspect of C&P you have decided to research. You may not use any database not named JSTOR. Follow only the Chicago Manual of Style and i expect to see a working draft by monday. You now do not have to do another GBP on CP ever in your life.

haha. Nigel, we're almost done with C&P anyways, so my blog posts on them are going to be becoming more and more sparce.

and i agree with the fact that they are better than writing essays, i'm just making the point that they're boring to read everyone's cuz they're all the same.

I beg to differ...I don't think anyone else looked at Crime and Punishment via Baudrillard's theories of reality.
