Week 2: Post your Blog Entries as Comments to my Main Post Each Week

Post by Sunday at midnight.

CHECK THE KOOKMIN 'CYBERCAMPUS' WEBSITE. All digital readings have been posted. And of course the reading packet is in the Bugak Gwan copy center. Ask for them to print your copy. I have mine printed as well.

Week 1: Opening Thread: Post your Blog Entries as Comments to my Main Post Each Week

[YOUR READING MATERIALS FOR NEXT WEEK ARE ONLINE, RIGHT NOW. I put the digital readings online. They are at the website associated with the course. The Sociology office told me they put the files there. Get them.]

Lee Young Jin: I can't read your handwriting to get your email. Email me this weekend.


Hello Class,

1.

Remember you have to register at blogger.com to post to this thread. BY THE WAY, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT NOTE: if you post and are unable to see it, that is OK because I have to add manually your comment after I look at it. Don't worry if you post and can't see your post yet! I have it, and it arrives in my email box for approval to add to the blog. I recommend you always save your post on another section of your computer and then paste it into the blog in case it is lost. Friendly advice.

2.

Remember to email me your email that you want associated with this course.


This is the pattern for the blog:

1. Your Name
2. A Title (Related to Social Inequality and Social Stratification Issues)
3. A comment: this is a short personal future scenario based on what you learned from the news article about a major trend, or what made you curious about discussing such a trend given the week's class content. However, it doesn't have to be about the week's content, only something related to proposing a future scenario or two.
4. Then put a long line ('-------------------)'.
5. Then cut/paste A SMALL PART of the article or topic you found. (This is because blogger.com now has a limit of "4096 characters" in blog comments. However, that should be enough to concentrate on your own comments, and provide an excerpt and a link to the original article. If you do want more space, and I encourage it, post a second time to get another "4096 characters".)
6. Then a small line '---'.
7. Then, finally, paste the URL (link) of the post.

Post for the first week on this thread. I'll set up a new main post each week, and then we will do the same.
