Instructions on reading responses

This blog is the platform for us to exchange interesting ideas during the seminar.

You're expected to do a few things here:

1. Respond to readings

Please post a short response to assigned readings (as early as possible but no later than 11 a.m. the day before class).

The purpose is to provoke analytical/critical/creative thinking on issues to be discussed in class.

You should first read through the assigned readings and then share your thoughts/questions/examples with the class. It is desirable that you share an online example, please include the link in your post (make the link clickable and open in a new tab).

If there are more than one reading assigned for a particular day, you should response to ALL of those readings to receive full credit.

Come up with an intriguing title for each of your posts.


Please write in short, concise manners (e.g., you can do bullet points when appropriate.) so that it is easy to read online and in class.

Please label your posts using both "your screen name" (no need to use your real name, but be consistent throughout the semester).

You're expected to respond to more than 1/2 of the assigned readings (i.e., 5 posts or more) throughout the semester.

Feel free to comment on your classmates' posts.

2. This is also the platform where we share relevant online resources (e.g., news or links to Web sites) with each other. Briefly explain why you think the story is important. Again, make the link clickable and open in a new tab.

3. You will also post certain assignments here. Follow the instruction of each assignment.

(If you have questions about the technical side of blogging, please let me know.)
