Tracking Your Blog Comments for Nixon’s Classes
For PRCA 3030, PRCA 3330, PRCA 3711, COMM 2332 and COMM 4333:
When you blog, you become a part of a community. And as a member of a community, you’re responsible for encouraging conversation. Commenting on others’ blogs is a great way to further conversations.
In addition to writing your own blog posts, you will also comment on others’ blogs; these comments will count as 25% of your grade on your blog. Aim to comment on two or three blog posts each week; you will need 25 comments minimum for the semester.
Aim to include a variety of blogs that you comment on, ranging from your classmates’ blogs to those of PR professionals.
To track your comments so that I can easily find them, create (and keep adding to) one blog post where you will include
- Comment # (keep a running list)
- Title of blog post you commented on, followed by the author’s name
- Hyperlink to the blog post
- Date of your comment
- Your complete comment (copy and paste)
NOTE: In order for the comment to “count” as part of your grade for this course, it needs to be at least 100 words long. You are welcome (and even encouraged) to write comments of varying lengths, but for class credit, 100 words is the shortest I’ll accept.
And whatever you do, make sure your blog comments aren’t whack.
