reflection on the edublog process

I really enjoyed reading each chapter of Number The Stars and then commenting on it. I thoroughly enjoyed other readers' remarks and opinions.


I see a need to have the course instructors set tighter goals for comments and replies. Some of the cohort students were very interested in this project and followed the suggested goals. Others did not complete the assignments or didn't bother until late in the semester. Those of us who properly finished the assignments on time unfairly saw the deadline extended, therefore justifying the delay for those who didn't bother. I would have future cohorts be held more responsible for this kind of assignment. Either deduct points for lateness and non-completeness, or assign points for on time readyness and completeness of the assignment. TOM PLETZ.
