Do we need to post a response to the semester on our blogs, or may we post it with our final self-assessment?

Whichever you like! If you have things you would prefer not to say publicly, in the self-assessment is fine. If you want to say something that others in the course (and the world) can see, the blog is the place.
This is the first time I’ve taught the course online, but I’ll be teaching it again that way a couple of times next year, so I’m especially interested in ways I can improve the course. What would you change, and equally importantly, what works that I shouldn’t change?
Thanks!
