Participation Criteria

Again, this is what I originally wrote:

You might also like to comment on the suitability of these as assessment criteria.

Assessing it in this way.  Judging by how the other ones have gone from prior semesters, tend to be abandoned.  Blogs average abandoned age.  Example from semester 1.

Suitability of blogging platform < low value activity.  Commenting on others.

Tell us (honestly!) how you feel the activity has helped you develop your skills and understanding of web technologies.

Programming > reason I abandoned my topic for ISYS

From the subject guide:

• Participation (5%) - if you work through the entire tutorial and attempt the exercises, you should get full marks for this, regardless of how successful you have been.

As I have attempted all the exercises, I am hoping to do well here.  Other things I attempted were:

• Doing an extra wave with someone outside my group.
• Setting up bundles to help save other students some time.
• Giving Rick a hand to get started on twitter.
• Monitoring others RSS feed so that I would be aware of new posts.  This enabled me to comment on a lot of blogs as the assignment went on.  (There is however not an easy way to count these comments though - perhaps a platform other then blogger is more suited)

My Group, Sal, Vanessa, Nemo and Dave were awesome to work with.
