General Comments on Your First Blogs!

Overall, I was impressed by your first blogging attempts. That is good! I am glad to see folks addressing the questions on the blogging guidelines. Many students indicated they are re-examining prior beliefs and assumptions. That is excellent! You are thinking critically. Some students developed their critical responses to specific concepts and themes we've addressed in class more than others. Only a couple of students discussed the notion of "traditional." We'll talk more about that term and concept as it relates to African art next week.

There were a couple common tics that I'd like to correct: many of you wrote about "African culture"--It would behoove you to add an 's' and make culture "cultureS". That way you acknowledge there are multiple and diverse peoples on the continent.
