What's Due, When

We've had several people join the course in the past week and I've received several questions about what, exactly, is due, and when. I'll try to clear everything up.

Blog Posts

Your first blog post is due by midnight, Saturday, January 31st. Your post should be a summary and critique of one government related article you find at one of the six web sites listed here under "Article Sources for Weekly Posts." You will write one blog post from a different web site each week. Starting on Saturday, February 7th, you'll also be required to make a short comment on a classmate's blog post from the previous week.

So, next week you'll have to write a blog post. The next week, and each week after, you'll have to write a blog post and a comment on a classmate's previous post.

What You Should Have Done By Now
By now you should have created your blog, posted the web address of your blog in a comment to my post "Creating Your Blog," practiced making posts (that include links), read the syllabus at Blackboard, read all the posts here, completed the reading/viewing/listening assignments posted here under First Reading Assignment-Week of 1/12.

Please feel free to post any questions or concerns you have here in the comments as opposed to sending an email. I'll be glad to answer your questions via email, but the whole class might benefit from seeing the answer here as your classmates may have similar questions.
