Pull out your thinking caps, stretch your creativity muscles, and put your heads together because the annual FS101 Blog Awards are on the line!
The coveted Best FS Blog 2008 Award is for the group blog that has it all...deep thoughts, great visuals, connections, debates. This is the blog that would be used in the cover story for our FS101...the blog that has made us all proud! The students on the winning blog will each receive 6 extra credit points for the semester.
Individual Awards...
We will also give out a few awards recognizing significant individual efforts.
The Haven't I Heard That Somewhere? Award is for the student that does the best job linking to other websites, podcasts, articles, or follow-up sources for topics that we've discussed or read about for class. The winner of this award receives 4 extra credit points.
The Let's Talk! Award is for the student that generates the most discussion and debate. This is student who creates the blog entries we love engage. The winner of this award receives 4 extra credit points.
The That's Deep! Award is for the student that presents the most reflective, critical analysis of issues from class in the debriefings and musings. These are the "thinking person's" blog entries (and where the professor loves to browse!). The winner of this award receives 4 extra credit points.
The How Cool Is That? Award is for the student that demonstrates the most creativity, broadly defined. These are the blog entries that are visually interesting, that use humor wisely, and that deal with a wide variety of issues....are these the blog entries of a frustrated artist? The winner of this award receives 4 extra credit points.
So...revise your old entries, work hard on the new ones, and get those creative juices flowing. Judging begins now and will end on Dec. 4th. The award recepients will be announced on the last day of class. Only one individual award per student, and I reserve the right to withhold awards for which the requirements have not been met.
