For that reason, there are requirements related to your answering each posted question and to responding to others' posts.<br />
<br />
Prior to the final due date for the blog, participants must:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Respond to each question posted. There will be 4 "sessions" with about 3 questions each.</li>
<li>At least 2 times per "session," post comments that specifically address other participants' responses. To allow us to track your comments, include the other participant's blog name and the date he/she posted at the start of your comment. You may agree or disagree with participants, but be sure to include your reasoning. "I agree" is not a meaningful response that contributes to the conversation. "I agree because..." is more likely to contribute to the dialogue.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Unlike our previous book study blogs, all questions will be posted at the same time. If you do the book study early, you will need to visit again in order to respond to other people's posts and to dialogue about yours.<br />
<br />
In case you need assistance in blogging and commenting, you can check out the instructions we have previously provided <a href="http://sbisdgtemotionalintensity.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
