Assignments

Participating on the course blog, creating your own blog, and using social media can make it challenging to keep track of the course and your path of inquiry.  Sometimes we do assignments together, and often you extend your learning on your own.  This page will serve as a reference for the baseline requirements for the course blog.

Assignments are listed in reverse chronological order (newest first).  Blog post assignments are occasionally linked to their source in the daily agendas.
