Blogging
I agree with the blogging assessment system because it is a whole lot better then just doing a test or even writing notes. You can prove how much you know on the subject by writing a blog. Yeah you can look at your notes for most things but that will not help you write a whole blog on it. It will just help on the topic and it also helps you get an idea of what to write. It does not give you all the answers. On a test all you have to do is memorize stuff off the top of your head. That would not get you that far. When you are blogging just take a look at your notes and/or what you wrote down in class about the topic. Then you have to do all the work from there. You have to write down what you think and all your feeling on the topic. By doing that you are learning more on the topic. Than going to your class, sitting at your desk and testing a test on things you had to write down and memorize on the top of your head. It helps you organize all your ideas about the topic. When you are taking notes you do not really know what you are writing you are just writing it because your teacher told you to. Most people do not understand the notes or even what the teacher is saying and then when it comes to taking the tests they do not know the information on the topic that well and they fail the quiz or test. Taking notes never helped me because i knew i had to memorize what was on the piece of paper and i am not that good at memorizing anything. So when i blog i feel as if i know everything that i have to write as a blog and on top of that i get to pick two questions to answer from as many as there is. When that i happens i pick the ones that i know the most of and then i do really good on them. When you a teacher tells you have to take a test they just give you a topic to study from they do not tell you a specific to study from. When you are blogging you know exactly what to talk about and you know how you are going to blog. Then on top of that you can take as long as you want to write your blog and they do not rush you. You just have to finish before the quarter will the amount of blogs that have to be done.
