I have a question about posting to Uniblogs. After I posted my resource lists, part of the source URLs were cut-off, although they appeared before I hit “publish”. How do I prevent this from happening in the future?
A comment: I find the multiple writings for this module along with the research, took an extraordinary amount of time. It was lucky I had lots of time to spend on it this week, but I am concerned about the time commitment during a normal work week, and having enough time for my other courses. Hopefully, as the course moves along, it will become easier since I will have a better idea of what Shelley expects, and can develop a better “rhythm” in moving through the module in a more reasonable amount of time.
I really enjoy this course, however, and hope I can hang in there!

–The assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Woodstock and the Vietnam war.
- Questions/Comments
–I have to apologize, I cheated myself as well as others out on not having a blog for the readings. I will have them for next week. I do have to agree with the fact that this course and the recording is a bit time consuming. This is my first online class, so I’m trying to keep up. The technology as well, I’m learning. I do like the course outline and the movies she has picked out for us. It all looks fun…
