Good morning historians of East Asia!
I hope you managed to sneak in a bit of sunshine over the weekend, despite the stay-at-home/shelter-in-place/lockdown orders that are probably in place in your area. No great words of wisdom this morning, other than: it’s a new week, a new chance to commit to what’s important in life! If that is this course, great (because it means you and your loved ones are ok). If it is not this course: I trust you to make the choice that’s right for you in the here and now. Remember that the East Asian history courses will be here for you when you’re ready to resume.
Notes for all:
- Reviews of each other’s blogs will resume next week, with the randomizer re-activated. Have you missed it? Remember you can always go to the Canvas Course page and find the links to your fellow classmates’ blogs and give feedback. Counts towards “Thoughtful participation in the Learning Commons”, should you need an incentive beyond exploring how others have written about the same topics.
