Blogging guidelines
1. Spend some time drafting your post (on paper or using a word processor) before publishing it online for everyone to read. Remember that this blog can be viewed by the wider Internet community, so let's show them how well you can write. 2. Use semi-formal academic English when responding to writing assignment prompts. Discussions can be a little more informal. No "wass up man" type of language please! 3. Always type carefully and proofread your work. Be careful of ı and i on the Turkish keyboard. 4. When asked to give feedback on other students' work, be honest yet tactful. 5. The quality and frequency of your posts/comments will be assessed as part of your Assignments grade.
