Blog Assignment

Blog posts are another way to actively engage with the readings while helping you practice thinking and writing analytically about the real world in a low-stakes way.  Approximately every  other week you will be expected to write a blog on the class blog post site.  Blogs are expected to be simultaneously concise and insightful responses to a COVID-19 related news item that explicitly draw on concepts and readings from that particular week. 

Blog titles will indicate what news article you are responding to, its date and source of the publication.  For example: Thoughts on Thomas' "Clinical Trials of Coronavirus Drugs are Taking Longer than Expected" (NYTimes 8/14/20).

NOTE: Only one blog can comment on each news article.  If you find that a peer has already posted on a news article you were working on, you may revise your work into a comment and submit it as for the comment assignment (2 comments over the course of the semester).
