Welcome to Constitutional Law - Fall 2010
Hello Class,
Welcome to the Blog for Constitutional Law. We will be using this blog to discuss some interesting issues about the constitution and the criminal justice system.
There are some general points below for the blog that you should follow all semester:
1) Please proofread all posts.
2) All post must be at least 300 words.
3) I recommend that you first type your response in Microsoft Word and then copy it into the blog.
4) Sometimes there is an error in posting on the blog. Please try again.
5) Make sure you start each post with your name at the top of the blog. If you do not put your name at the beginning of your post I cannot give you credit for the assignment.
6) All posts should be original. You are cheating if you use someone else's information. This includes another student or an outside source. Make sure that you properly reference any outside source that you use in your post.
Now, let's get started!! Please post an introduction message about yourself. Please discuss your professional and academic accomplishments and goals. Discuss why you are taking this course. Discuss your family (if you like). You are free to discuss anything else (as long as it is appropriate for class). Again your post must be at lease 300 words. Your post is due before we meet again for class on Thursday, August 26th. This post will count towards your participation grade for August 26th. I really want you to complete this assignment so you get used to posting on the blog. There will be a few blog assignments this semester and I want you to feel comfortable....
