Welcome USU Rhetoric Associates!!!

Hey, all! This blog is intended for USU rhetoric associates. I want to make this blog an A-Z reference guide for RA's; however, I'm going to need your help by way of feedback and ideas about material to post and ideas to present. I want this to be a blog where RA's can go to ask questions, share stories, give advice, and just let off a little steam. I'm no expert at blogging, but I think that this could be beneficial for the RA's. Please comment to let me know what you would want out of a blog like this. The format is really flexible, so be creative and let me know what you think. Thanks for your time!

Are there any more movies or films that previous RAs have done on how to be a better RA? That would be nice if we could have access to those previous RA projects through this website.

Nice job on the blog bytheway.

I think if you started up the conversations about certain problems that would help the blog get going. Just a thought.

The blog looks great! You have done a fantastic job on the design of the page! It think the blog will be an excellent resource for RAs, giving them somewhere to turn for humor, advice, or just somewhere to spill their ideas or stresses. Good thinking! I also agree with the other comments listed. If you have access to previous RA projects that might add an extra flare to the blog. It may also be a good idea to put a few enteries in - maybe a couple different kinds (one serious entry, an entry asking a question, an entry that shares good adivce, etc.) I definitely think this would get the ball rolling because people are sometimes shy to be the first or even the second (you know what I mean). Overall, I really think this is an awesome idea and I think that current and future RAs will be very grateful for a blog like this! Way to go! :0)

This is such a great idea! Can anyone who visits the blog post? I couldn't, but I may be special... I think that would help though, to be able to actually post and not just comment. Just my thoughts. And I agree with everyone else's comments, too. And, here's another great (and fun) resource: Grammar Girl, at http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/. Great idea, again!

Looks good, it might be helpful for Julie to be able to put in any changes on the syllabus on the blog, so people can look them up (maybe instead of sending an email to everyone)

I think the idea of a blog is a good idea, but I have a feeling it might not be used as much as you like. To be honest, with my free time I'm not sure I would visit this site. Maybe if you geared it to something Julie could use within the class. Also, regarding the post about changing the syllabus here, I think e-mail are better because then everyone in the class is certain to receive the information.

Love the blog. I agree with making the blog a way for fellow RAs to check class updates.

I think that this was a wonderful idea. I love the fact that we have something to go to when we need help. Sharing funny stories will be a great thing as well. Job well done and very creative!!!!
