Task: There will be two sections to the marking of this task: firstly, 10% of the mark (3.5 marks out of 35) will be for the overall aesthetic of the completed blog site, which includes any adjustments made because of both peer and teacher feedback; and, secondly, students will write six learning journal entries - one for each of Weeks 10, 11, 12 and 13, one week of your choice (out of Weeks 3-8), and a final learning journal entry on the course as a whole.
