Obama vs. Romney II: Brawl at the Hall

Obama vs. Romney

President Obama and Governor Romney will engage in another debate tonight from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.  Most people agreed that Romney won the first debate, so President Obama will likely be very energetic tonight.  For this assignment, I would like you to watch the debate and write a post to this blog.  After you write your own post, please reply to THREE other posts.  Please remember to keep your posts appropriate!  Arguing is fine, but please remember to attack the person's argument, not the person!  Here are some questions to get you thinking:

  • How does this debate compare to the last one?
  • Who is doing a better job answering questions?  Who's winning? Why?
  • What did you think of the questions?  Did the citizens do a good job?

What is the best way to study for a test?

Your class has spent the past few weeks learning a new chapter in the textbook.  It is now Monday, and you have a test scheduled for Friday.  First, tell me your actual study habits.  Be honest!  Then, tell me the absolute best ways to study for a test.  If you need some help, consult this list of Test Taking Tips, and share about which methods would be most effective.  Please make your post at least one paragraph.  When you're finished, respond to someone else's post.
