Welcome!

This blog will be a place for you to log your progress in your research throughout the semester. Using your classmates as a research community, you will discuss your successes and difficulties in your process, and your classmates will offer support and their own best practices to help you improve your process.

Blogging is mandatory, as is respect for your fellow classmates. Each week, you will respond to a different prompt.

Blogging is graded in the following manner: 

1. Participation: blogs must be posted on time.
2. Following directions: while you may contribute additional comments or links, your primary goal in posting should be to satisfy the assignment requirements.
3. Remaining respectful of your classmates.

For this week's assignment, simply reply to this blog so that I know you are ready to get started.
