This blog will serve as a discussion forum, where students in our class can share ideas and questions about some of the broader, over-arching questions related to specific topics covered in our course.
Each module with a blog assignment has its own category where students post entries and comments related to questions from each module. Please make sure you click the correct week under Categories on the right side of the page, when you post the entry. The entries should be carefully written, polite and professional, and should reflect some serious thinking. Claims and assertions should be supported by facts — we are not looking for feelings or beliefs — and should indicate a familiarity with the material associated with each module of the course.
Note that the assignment for Module 1.1. asks you to complete two readings from the Food and Environment Reporting Network (https://thefern.org/category/article/)– which could provide you with lots of food for thought and resources for a blog entry.

See the course home page for information on grading the blog entries.
