How to focus your Blog topic - COM101

In this audio I’m going to talk about how to cover a topic properly in the final blog. [Transcript available through BlackBoard.) Some of the issues covered here are

- How to write something that's more your opinion rather than a summary of someone else's research

- Using critical thinking to come up with your own ideas

- Getting beyond saying something that is totally obvious

- Choosing a topic based on life experience or your own insight (which is unique because only you have lived your life!)

- I want to know more about YOUR idea (based on your research)... not just other people's ideas
