Blog interpolation
I thought that the blog was an excellent format for extra discussion in within the group and encouraged a more "lively" format than would have been possible otherwise. One of the things that I enjoyed the most about the blog was the ability to easily link to original source material and develop an opinion based upon another person's conducted research. If we have learned anything from this course it is that interpretation of research and statistics can be broad and it should be the job of the consumer to utilize information at hand in the most efficient way possible. Although I probably would have chosen a different format for assignments I still thought that it was accessible enough that, as students, we could utilize its features in a way that expanded the salience of the course.
