Guidelines

I'm looking forward to making this blog a place where you can interact with your cohorts. As we move in that direction, I would like to give you some guidelines for using Glorious Fever:

1. It's okay to disagree. In the words of Robert Hutchins, "Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view." In your disagreements, be kind and respectful of differing points of view.

2. This is an extra credit opportunity. Each time you make a relevant and helpful comment, you may earn one extra credit point (for a possibility of 5 total points). Of course, this will require you to sign your name to your comments.

3. To make a comment: Click on the comments under the post, type your comment in the "leave your comment" box, click "name/URL," and type your name and block in the "name" box.

4. Have fun!


Watch for upcoming "discussion" topics!


Note: I have enabled comment moderation. If you don't see your comment right away, be patient. In order for your comment to appear, I must first check my E-mail and approve the comment. If you submit your comment five times, I get five E-mails from you. That's annoying:)

I think I might have sent you one of my comments twice. Woopsies. It's my goal to post on every single one of your posts. This is my last one, and I have to say, this is a whole lot more fun than I thought it would be.

I didn't know where to put this, either. I just checked out the online writing lab, but it wasn't as cool as I'd hoped. The creative writing part was only about poetry. Nothing against poetry, but it shouldn't have rules, which is essentially what the site has put forth.

Cait,

The online writing lab is mostly helpful as a resource for MLA formatting.

Thanks for these guidelines they really helped me. No offense but I didnt think that Glorious Fever was going to be all that great but I really like it I think it is pretty cool.
