Does this blog benefit the students of management? Does this blog allow them to better grasp the concepts taught in class and learn from one another? I would argue it does! I feel this blog is a unique and valuable addition to a college class. By blogging, for one it allows people who prefer not to participate in class to have their voice heard as well. I found that instead of conversing with other students online and then befriending them in class, it worked the opposite way personally. I commented on people who I knew already from class, as I was interested to hear what they had to say and how they write.
Most of our required blog posts were about class activities we conducted in class, which I feel helped us better understand and evaluate the concepts taught through these activities. It also allowed us to see what others got out of the activities, maybe giving light to a different viewpoint we did not think of prior to reading their post.
The professor's blog did address different aspects of management that were not covered in class, but I feel like there could have been additional topics included in the blog. This would allow someone who would like to learn about additional topics the material to do so.
I did understand the way in which this blog offset the weight our tests take on, which takes off the pressure from us when exam time comes up. This makes the anxiety of the course easier.
I have enjoyed this blog throughout the semester, and I will definitely make an attempt to continue posting to it when I have time. That's just the problem, right now I have such a limited amount of time that I am not sure how much I will be able to post in the future.
I do feel this is a good addition to the course, and it should be continued in the future sections of the class. One suggestion may be not to make the blog posts so structured, allow the students to just write what they think about the activities in general.
