Listing of the f07 blog grading periods

Just for the record, I am listing the three grading periods for your blogs for the f07 semester, for each of the four groups.

1. FIRST PERIOD
1. Group 1. 9/23 - 10/14
2. Group 2. 9/23 - 10/21
3. Group 3. 9/23 - 10/27
4. Group 4. 9/23 - 11/4
2. SECOND PERIOD
1. Group 1. 10/15 - 11/25
2. Group 2. 10/22 - 12/2
3. Group 3. 10/28 - 12/9
4. Group 4. 11/5 - 12/16
3. THIRD PERIOD
1. Group 1. 11/26 - 12/23 (already finished!)
2. Group 2. 12/3 - 12/30 (this coming week)
3. Group 3. 12/10 - 1/6
4. Group 4. 12/17 - 1/13

For each period, I am looking for a MINIMUM of 12 different posting days, ideally 3 times a week. More times a week would be better, but I cannot handle grading so many entries! If you have written at least the minimum number of times for any period, I'll give you a passing grade of 60 or more; if you have not, it's doubtful you'll pass.
Reminder: I'll keep only 2 of the three grades for the three periods, and average them together for your blog grade for the year. The lowest one will be dropped from the grade sheet. The blog grade will be about 40% or 50% of the final grade for the class.
Conclusion: if you have zeroes or very low grades for two periods, it is unlikely you'll pass the class at all, unless the rest of your work is really good.
I hope this is clear. If not, ask!!
Your merry teacher
