How to get an A on your blog

As I have said all along, the blog is very open ended. You could make almost any post and I will accept it as long as it is sincerely written and shows at least a distant connection to our class.

To receive a full A you will need a minimum of 15 blog entries, including what you’ve already written or what I’ve assigned to post on your blog.

Papers written for class will count as posts, but only your final draft, so the most that will achieve is 3 posts.

Here’s the kicker, anything over 15 posts will receive extra credit to be determined by me at the time of grading.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me so that we can work them out.

Thanks,

Wayne.

P.S. Make sure your blog is listed on my blog. If it is not there I’ll have no way to give you credit when the time comes.
