Blogging is an interesting form of communicating in the class. After reading the reasons why Professor Kurpis chose to do a blog for this class I can somewhat agree with his reasoning. My thoughts on blogs are somewhat similar albeit a slightly different. I think blogging is especially good for those people who are not particularly talkative in class. I feel like it allows for more people to express their opinions especially if they are shy. I think blogging is also a good way for a person to earn a certain portion of their grade although admittedly I personally had trouble always remember to do my blog, particulary the commenting aspect of it. I think that part could just be my problem although I can definetly see people forgetting to comment on other peoples blogs. Although I do the purpose of commenting on other peoples blogs cause it at least assures someone having to go out and read your blog. For me however blogging is a very impulsive thing however. I feel like blogging is something I would do out of impulse as opposed to by a certain date. I suppose that could just be my lazy side talking seeing as I forgot comment sometimes, but I feel like blogging is an impulsive act.
All that being said, I think the blog should remain an active part of this class for semesters to come and I hope that other professors will somehow include blogging in their classes as a form of particpation.

I think you're right about blogging being a beneficial outlet for those people too shy to contribute in class. Also, some of us sometimes feel like we might have too much to talk about or share to the class. I know i often felt like I wanted to say tons of things but didn't because I felt that the class would think I was obnoxious.
