"Jason Pugh, 20, a junior from West Mifflin, said he'd watched the level of discourse rise as freshmen come to campus and see how upperclassmen build reasoned arguments. 'There's a difference between just saying, 'You're wrong,' and saying, 'I disagree because of point one and point two,' he said."

I think that Jay had a really good point. Being that I myself went through quite a blogging transformation my freshman year, I totally agree with him. When I first began blogging for my 2 other classes with Dr. Jerz, I hated it. I thought that it was just busy work and just wrote whatever I could think of. However, towards the end of the semester, I actually enjoyed blogging and came to see it as a great educational tool. As Jay was quoted in the article, it really helped me in learning important literary analysis and criticism. I could actually back up my initial feelings and thoughts with support of all types.
