AKWAABA means "welcome" in Twi, the language of the Ahan tribe in Ghana. And, I would like to welcome you to space you can call your own...sort of. Below are some rules of engagement, also found on your syllabus (so, it should sound very familiar):

Over the course of the semester, you will post at least two times to the blog.  You will also respond to at least three other postings.  I won't put a word count on this assignment, but your posts should be thoughtful and detailed. 

Take some time and read through the Peer Centered blog posts, to see what others have to say, and how they've said it.  You may discuss an issue from a reading, or from what you observe and do in the RWC.  Your tone should be conversational, and you should bring up earnest questions you have about tutoring practice and theory.  Remember that a blog is a quasi-public genre.  When discussing situations encountered in the RWC, use pseudonyms and don't include identifying information of others.

Pretty straight forward, hunh? I am also allowing this space to double as a class bulletin board; however, you will not receive course credit for those posts.
