As we noted in our discussion on Monday morning, there are two different sorts of writing activities in Quest. There are the formal, academic writing assignments in Part 5 of each chapter, and there are also what Quest calls "response writing" exercises, such as Ex. G on page 157. Your first academic writing assignment is the one I gave out this morning, which asks you to give your opinion about whether or not the picture on page 165 of Quest is a good choice to use on the opening page of chapter 6, "Abnormal Psychology". This class Blog is where we can practice response writing on a more regular basis. That's why you're here. That's why you've been sent an invitation to join this Blog. And that's why we'll be coming here regularly.
If you're new to Blogging, don't worry. If it seems a bit confusing, that's not unusual. As we use it, you will become familiar and comfortable with it, and you will be able to try out the different features that are available. And if you have any questions, please ask.
If you have time now, you might like to browse through some of the posts and comments from previous students.
That's enough for now. Tomorrow I will edit this entry a little.
