Welcome to the Nervous Conditions Discussion Blog

At the request of Block 4, I've created this blog as an alternate way to show your reading and engagement with Nervous Conditions.  This doesn't replace your regular blog posts on your blog, but you can post here instead of completing the reading guide questions for each chapter if you prefer, and we'll refer to these discussions in class.

A few guidelines:  Your posts should be substantive and more than summary.  They should be at least two paragraphs long.  Show me you are reading well - asking questions, noticing patterns, approaching the book analytically.  You can ask clarification questions here, too, but that should be in addition to interpretive questions and claims.  You should read and may respond to and debate with your classmates' posts.  To get credit for each chapter, post a comment on the post focused on that chapter.  If a discussion takes off, I might create a separate post for comments just on that issue.

Let the discussion begin!
- Dr. D
