Number-Crunching

Because you asked...

The total number of blogs you should have by the end of the semester: 25
The total number of comments you should have made on others' blogs by the end of the semester: 35
The reward for having done a good job all term: Priceless.

In order to receive an A, both you and your blog should have been active all term. That means:
a) You've attended class
b) You've thoughtfully, intellectually participated in class
c) Your blog's been kept reasonably up-to-date.

Although you can't time-machine yourself back to classes you missed (if you can, please let me know immediately), and you can't completely correct a blog that's been flabby for months, you can add extra posts to try to balance things a bit. This would show verve and commitment and will likely help your grade.

Note that word "likely." There are no guarantees, but common sense rules here.

Remember, of course, that quality counts. A lot. So you want to always balance your desire for the correct number of posts with the importance of having quality posts. Simply having 25 posts won't guarantee you a sweet grade. Those posts have to show effort. They have to reveal the attributes of good blogging per our text.

You have a few weeks to kick it up a notch. So as Emeril would put it, Bam! Let's see what you've got.
