He has links to 12 class blogs on his homepage (url above). All except WRT 109 (Fall 2003) Academic Writing (Honors) appear to be only class policies, syllabus, and text information.

WRT 109 (Fall 2003) Academic Writing (Honors)

Weblog expectations:

“…I would expect that you post brief entries about 2-3 items per week…”

Quality expectations:

Post enough to be useful later in writing final essay.

11 Student Blogs linked from course homepage.

All appear to be updated irregularly.

I’ve sent him an email to ask the following questions:

1. How many classes have you taught in which students were required to blog?

2. How did it go?

3. Do you and the students blog in class?

4. Do you think a case could be made for blogging improving student writing and/or critical thinking skills?
