Welcome
This is home base for information regarding blogging in Law and Society. There are several steps to get started:
1. You will identify the members of your group. You should know each other's names, email addresses, telephone numbers and area of particular interest.
2. You will select a leader. The blog leader will be responsible for coordinating the blog's response to in-class direction to cover a certain topic. The blog leader will be responsible for grading the other members' contributions to the blog, but will not be responsible for contributing directly unless he or she wishes. Caveat: be careful of who you choose as a leader. If he or she doesn't submit your scores to me in the allotted time, you will not receive credit for that assignment.
3. You will each sign up as blog authors on your paritcular blog. You will post twice a week.
One post will include an image or a video and include, in your own words, why you think it's important. Your post must include at least five sentences of substantive content in your own words.
One post will be a comment on another student's post on a different blog. Your comment must include at least 1)two substantive sentences with a link to a relevant article from another source; or 2) three sentences of your own substantive writing on the subject of the blog post.
Your leader will be responsible for tallying your posts and evaluating them for the professor.
4. Your grade on the blog is worth 30 per cent of your final grade in the class. Your blog grade will be made up as follows: 50 per cent of the grade is given by the blog leader. 50 per cent is the grade given to the blog by the professor at the end of the class. You will be expected to have twenty-eight blog posts each by the end of the term, except the blog leader. The blog leader can have as many or as few posts as he or she wants, but the blog leader's grade will be made up as follows: 35 per cent the grade given the leader by the blog authors, and 65 per cent the grade the blog is given by the professor.
5. The grade given the blog by the professor will be decided as follows: 20 per cent on the quality of personal commentary by the bloggers; 20 per cent by the quality and quantity of external links on the blog; 20 per cent on the visual quality of images on the blog; 20 per cent by the popularity of the blog, measured by the number of comments it receives, and 20 per cent on the grade the class gives the blog at the end of the term.
