The verdict on class blogs


At the last lecture of MSTU2000 Music Subcultures and the Media, I administered a student questionnaire as one way of evaluating the usefulness of the research weblog assessment task I had implemented for the first time this semester. Here are the results (apologies in advance to any stats junkies – bare frequency tables only, I’m afraid). Generally, it’s a thumbs up.

There has also been some dissent – but paradoxically, an exercise like the weblog task actually enables the public voicing of such dissent and has encouraged me to think more about participatory course design.
