   2. midterm Observations
      1. 1. Meanings are not hidden
         1. Even myths and Ideologies (i.e., spiritual) must be spoken, or communicated.
         2. SR's are sensible (i.e., sensed).
      2. 2. Avoid indefinite pronouns (e.g., "it")
      3. 3. Make sure imagery, words and pictures, harmonize; I'm seeing a lot of pictures that don't relate to your work--as if you are grabbing an image because some teacher said so. The problem is, you'll likely pass class, but fail professionally. This is not busy work; practice
      4. 4. Work done at the last minute is almost always obvious; don't forget why you're doing these blogs
   3. Evaluate Student Blogs
      1. Too many non-submissions
