English 4040: Blogging in Theory and Practice

University of Missouri professor, Dr. Donna Strickland, is teaching blogging to his class for academic credits.

The course outline is as follows:

English 4040

  • Week 1: What’s a blog: technicalities. Introduction to the course; what is a blog; setting up your blog. Setting up a bloglines account; using technorati and other search engines to find blogs; more on technical basics of blogging.
  • Week 2: What’s a blog: common practices. History of blogging, blogging choices. Reading, linking, commenting.
  • Week 3: Blogging ethics, rights, & dilemmas. Weblog ethics & rights. Blogging and anonymity (or notoriety).
  • Week 4: Reading and extrapolating.

Had this been an elective class back in your college days, would you have signed up for it?

Back in AdMU, we had this Cinema (or something like that) elective where all you do is watch a movie in Megamall and write a paper for it. It’s usually taken by graduating students trying to push their average QPI (Quality Point Index) to hit the cum laude quota. But alas, I was restricted to yet another Chemistry elective.
