Students in my upper-level, writing-and-research-intensive courses are often required to write short reflections on their research process. In my Music and Religion class this semester, students posted one reflection per research assignment (and wrote three other blog posts in response to readings or in-class discussions about intersections between class and “real life”). I ask them to post these reflections on our course blog because they capture the process behind the “products” of the course – in this case, a series of short papers transformed into podcasts that will be released to the public weekly in 2017. Interested members of the public (as well as faculty and librarians) can use the posts to better understand how students get from point A to point Z, and students use the posts to track their own progress as they become more sophisticated, experienced researchers.
