Unfortunately, like any assignment, the blog does have some negative aspects. While we can access our friends blogs to learn from their mistakes, people can also use our blog to copy work. As it is an internet based assignement, there are of course a wide range of strange and terrible people who could leave comments on the blog. The blog also leaves a large amount of the work in the hands of the students, and as such whether work is done or not seems to be much more in the hands of the students. Another problem is with the internet, as given the less than good performance of etisilat, it is likely that in our times of greatest need, our internet will fail. Finally, there are problems with the site itself. As we have seen in the recent crash of the blog, resulting in a mass loss of published articles, technology is not always the best way to go about day to day work.
