Katie M's proposal
For the first half of the course I will be manually writing journal entries focusing on reactions to the readings and incorporating some discussions from class. I prefer to write with a pen and paper, like a personal journal, to explore my reactions and ideas about the readings and class discussions. Each Tuesday and Thursday after class I will write a journal entry. For self-evaluation for these assignments I will write a longer reflection on all of my writings at the end of this half of the semester detailing things that I found to be very significant and any common themes from my writings or from the readings and class discussions. For your evaluation of my work, every Monday night I will edit my journal entries to include any new thoughts and post my writings from the past week (as well as the final reaction, at the end of this half of the semester) on a personal blog and post the link on the Power of the Powerless blog that we have been using. At the end of this half of the semester I will hand in all of my handwritten journals as well as a typed up reflection.

I think you have a very good plan here. Why don't you create your own blog now, so we can start following. Also, I need to know more about how to evaluate your work.
ReplyDeleteBill, I would like to be evaluated on the following criteria:
Delete- New blog posts are updated every Monday, and a link is posted to the Power of the Powerless blog, as well as timely replies to any comments on the posts.
- The blog posts are well thought out and well written.
- The blog posts include topics from the reading and class discussion, and are relevant to the class.
- When handing in the handwritten journals at the end, it is evident there has been some editing from the original journals to the blog posts.
- The reflection at the end of this half of the semester will be typed and handed in (with the original, handwritten journals) on the last day of class. This reflection is well written, ties together main ideas, comments on themes from the writings, compares the handwritten journals to the blog posts, and adds any new material.
