more on excellence

Overall, I think our Human Geo classes are off to a terrific start. The majority of you have set up your blogs and sent me the pertinent information. Most of you have written two good posts - the first one describing your first days at JC, the second one giving me your impressions of the essay A Message to Garcia.

A few of you have emailed me some questions, which I will address here:

• Every day you meet for Human Geography, you post to your blog. If the class does not meet, you do not need to post.
• You do not need to email me every time you post a new blog. If you see your name listed to the right of this post, I can see ALL of your postings, and you are good to go.
• If you were not in class or had to leave early, you can find out what you missed by reading my blog. Also, I recommend making a friend in class (a "study buddy") with whom you can check in to get even more details about class activities, homework, etc.
• Lastly, if you do NOT see your name listed to the right in your section, it means you have NOT successfully sent me the URL for your blog. If I can't see your blog, I can't grade it. I will have to enter zeros for your grades until I CAN see your blog. It is your responsibility to email me your URL.

Like I said, we are off to a great start. Keep it up!
