I'm requiring my ARTS 450 (Senior Seminar) students to blog about certain topics that are assigned periodically. My hope is that this will encourage a different kind of dialogue than is possible in the traditional class discussion format. It's not intended to replace the class conversations, but I'm certain that some things (for some people, anyway) are easier to post than to say. As usual, it's an experiment.
Which brings me to this explanation: the students have asked me to respond (via this blog) to the same topics that I give them. Sounds fair to me. So in the future, when you see the heading "Topic:" at the start of a post, that's a class pseudo-discussion in progress.
