Overall partaking in the research blog was not too bad. Some things I would consider changing would be starting the subculture chapters earlier in the semester to better understand the material at hand. The subculture chapters were highly important and sometimes a little difficult to understand, so starting them at an earlier date would probably reduce the risk of not understanding it. One thing I would change would be the busy work, possibly taking out a few reading blogs and possibly one or two research blogs. I found myself overwhelmed and uninterested because of the quantity of them. I think if the focus was more on quality over quantity the mindset of the students and quality of work would go up. I understand your mindset was to have quality with each and every single assignment; however I just felt overwhelmed and I know from speaking to other students they felt the same way, that we were partaking in busy work.
This research blog was a good way of keeping track of research, hw, and assignments; however, some subject matter and assignments seemed to be a little unclear. I found myself confused and therefore lacking some focus on some.
