Today I begin my teaching experiment. The students of my computer ethics course are going to blog as a core part of their work. They have to create blogs and during the course they will have to produce a minimum of 5 entries a week. Three of these entries have to be 350-500 words long on the topic of that particular week.
The goal is to get them writing without standing next to them with a big stick. Enthusiasm doesnâ??t mix well with the big stick.
Today is also the day when 500 copies of my PhD thesis arrive â?? itâ??s almost like Christmasâ?¦
