academic writing blog

Hi everyone! 

Is it just me or is this blog rather complicated?

I once used to write a blog when I was on exchange and I didn't have that many difficulties to manage the other blog like I do have with this one. But anyhow…

Besides having difficulties with writing my blog I do have some other challenges with writing all the other things we have to do. My topic is very interesting and there are so many ways to look at it and work with it and I find it difficult to choose one when all the different aspects are interesting as well. But maybe I can use some other perspectives later on.

However, I want to write about something that someone could argue on and therefore be able to write an argumentative piece. That is on the one side a bit tricky but on the other side it can get really interesting. I hope I can manage to get that far J

I also find the outline difficult. It’s not easy to establish an outline if you are not really sure yet where to focus on, don’t you think?

I am looking forward to get some feedback on my proposal and hope that I am heading in the right direction!

See you guys later in class!

And by the way… Enjoy the nice weather!!!

Cheers,

Lisa

Lisa,

I again chose to comment on your blog, because there is one point that especially caught my eye. It is all about the useability of this blog. I have blogged in the past just as well and my experience with different blogging sites and software, for example word press, is a much better one than with the collabor system set up here. As I have pointed out in my most current blog entry, it is at least annoying to always have to go back to moodle in order to find somebody's blog to read and also comment. Copying and pasting of blog web addresses should not consume most of our work time, we should rather spend more time on writing and reading.

Let's hope for better usability or a modernized version in the future.

hi lisa!

I am sure you're not the only one who thinks that this blog is complicated. I do not like it at all! I have to blog in IV too. Although we have learned about "collabor" I think there would be other "blog-sites" which were not that coplicated. Anyway.

I also think that the outline is difficult - how can you make an outline, when you just have a thesis - for me this is very difficult - also because I have to rethink my thesis! :)

Have a nice weekend!

see you...
