QUOTE: "What if, indeed. After studying the matter, Ms. Davidson concluded, “Online blogs directed at peers exhibit fewer typographical and factual errors, less plagiarism, and generally better, more elegant and persuasive prose than classroom assignments by the same writers.”
RESPONSE: I agree with Ms. Davidson. The part before this part of the article it was talking about how students often turn in research papers that are not very acceptable and are written with poor quality. I think this is because students, all through their life, have to write papers and usually it is on a required subject and they get bored with that. But, as ms. Davidson said with blogs, there is less plagiarism and generally better and more persuasive by the same students. I think this is true because students are more interested when they can be themselves and aren't required to limit their opinions or feelings.
