Hey everyone- Here are the results of our class survey. I hope you find them as interesting as I do. Thanks to your comments, I am clearer about how we can improve this course. Don’t forget these key points:

Try to check your Gmail account at least once each week outside of class
Visit our class website when you need support, advice, or to find out about assignments (http://talandisjr.edublogs.org)
Remember there is NO HOMEWORK in our class if you can come to each lesson. If you miss a class, you will have a bit of homework.
Our purpose: to improve basic writing skills, learn different types/styles of writing. Also, I want you to learn basic computer and Internet skills that can help you continuing writing and connecting with foreigners after you graduate.
If the class is too easy or too hard, please see me for help or ask a classmate for help. Also, other teachers can help you with computer questions.
You can write about anything you want in your blogs, not only on the main topic.
Write at least 10 blog posts by the end of the year, and put all of our textbook assignments on your blog as well (there will be 6 or 7 in total)

I learned the following things from your comments:

I need to explain about “important things” more clearly and more often. To do that, I will post more often to this blog and I will send you all more message via Gmail. So, please visit this blog and check your Gmail more often!
Some students find this class too easy, and others find it too difficult. I will try to support both groups more, but don’t wait for me- If this class is too easy or difficult, talk to me or your classmates.

If you do all of these things, and your attendance is okay, you will pass the course with no problems.

Thanks again for your effort! I hope you work hard and learn a lot in the 2nd term.
