This blog is for you to comment on the material, make connections to your own lives and musical preferences, and get discussions going with your peers. I encourage you to share thoughts, music, videos, and experiences about the class, its topics, and related issues.
Like any blog, the site is only as good as its latest postings, so refresh this page with weekly contributions, by which I mean posts and responses. Each student is expected to post an item at least once a week and respond in the comments section to peer posts at least twice weekly. So bookmark this page and check in often. Check as well the weekly blog prompts in each module.
Grading is based on both the frequency and quality of your postings. I only ask that you be respectful of language, tone, and gesture in what and how you say things. Also, beware of suspect websites when linking to content (YouTube and Vimeo links are typically okay but vet everything before posting a link).
Your first assignment/prompt (for Week 1, due by 11:59 p.m. Sunday, July 15th):
Introduce yourself to the class (as text or video), telling us your name, hometown, why you chose this course, a favorite artist or song of yours, and what you hope to learn about rock. Please put your last name in the post heading (e.g., “Ellis Introduction”).
