Examples of Blog Posts • Poor examples • This was a great site I really liked it. • I agree with what Alex said. • This was a bit boring to me.
Examples of Blog Posts • Fair examples • I found this information interesting especially the amount of activities available at CCC. My goal would be to get involved in the newspaper and join at least one academic honor society. • I disagree with what the author said in this article. My biggest concern with going to college is learning how to stay focused during lectures. While time management is important, I feel I have the skills to handle classes, studying, and outside activities.
Examples of Blog Posts • Excellent example • Dr. Smith’s article on time management was helpful to me because of the specific technique he suggested on page 31, “plan your week the week before.” In high school I found myself living each day as it comes, from Dr. Smith’s article I have learned this will not be effective in college. Dr. Smith’s experience as a college professor for over 23 years supports his theories and while I might not use his “notebook technique” he mentioned on page 24, I know I will implement some of his suggestions immediately.
