There is nothing worse than pouring your heart and soul into a published work and getting a response like "Nice!" or "Good job!", other than getting negative responses to your work :) Think about when you've posted something spectacular on Facebook or told a friend or family member about a great accomplishment, and all they have responded with is a simple statement. Well, blogging is the same way.
When people blog, they do so with the intent of getting constructive feedback from their readers. Often this feedback reinforces the feelings/thoughts of the author while at other times it may challenge them into going farther into the topic. That is what I am hoping for with these blogs.
Therefore, I'd like to request that when you leave comments for your fellow classmates, please take the time to make thought provoking and/or constructive feedback. For example, instead of making a comment that says, "Yeah, me too", instead say "I'm taking three science classes right now too. Maybe when can study together since we have so many classes in common." You should always try to include a part of the author's blog entry in the comment to show that you truly read and reflected upon the author's entry. Feel free to look through some of last year's blogs to see examples of proper commenting.

Here's the prompt for your blog entry this week:
- What topic are you most looking forward to in this class? Why?
- What topic are you least looking forward to in this class? Why?
- Anything else you wish.
