The first seminar is usually information only and we really don't get into the meat of the class until week 2 or 3. Class was large, but as I have learned in previous classes the first seminar is attended by all and then slowly loose classmates after a week or so. We had 20 on-line. It is nice to see that many active participants at seminar. It makes for a lot of discussions to read and respond. It will be a busy week with discussion, blogging, and exercises.
The format of our units has changed and that will take me some getting used to. It is a good thing it was brought up during seminar or I would have missed things that needed to be completed for this week.
I look forward to blogging and actually am excited about the scientific paper for our final project. In Comp I, the paper due was informational and the professor told me I was writing with a bias, like I was trying to persuade the reader to my opinion. Had to change it completely since it was only information. This paper is one I really think I will like writing. Now to find the subject matter.

Yes Peggy, you will enjoy putting more of yourself into this paper. We will discuss how to back up your own ideas with expert opinion and facts from research. We will also discuss how to keep the language formal but dynamic.
