Blogging = Refl Inq Assignment

No class this week! And apparently, according to the e-mail that Eric sent us a few days ago, we also do not have to do the Reflexive Inquiry Assignment number 3. This would be great news to someone who was stressed out about doing a third project, but for us bloggers it really does not make a difference at all. We still have to blog every week.

I was thinking, is it fair that we have to continue blogging every week, on average 400-500 words, while the rest of the class does not have to worry about the Reflexive Inquiry assignments at all anymore? The 6 or so people in the class that are blogging have to write way more than anyone else has to write. And now that the third inquiry assignment has been taken away, it seems like we are doing a lot more work than everybody else.

I was thinking this over and the truth is, I knew from the start that I would have to write more than the people that were just turning in a couple projects. I like to blog because I think it is fun and I usually am inspired sometime throughout the week with something that has to do with PCP and I thought a blog would be a good idea so I could record what I thought on a weekly basis. Plus, the people that are blogging are going above and beyond what Eric asked of us in these Reflexive Inquiry assignments so that means that will probably boost our grade.

I guess all in all it will work out, but I do feel like the bloggers are required to do a lot more work than the rest of the class. Maybe in the future, the weekly word count for bloggers should be a little less. I think it would be more reasonable to require 150-200 words a week from the people who choose to blog because we are writing much more often. (333)
