In blog comments students engage the premises of the arguments, not the conclusions.
1. The comment may argue against the inclusion of a specific premise in the argument.
2. It may show why a missing premise should have been included.
3. It may dispute the truth of a given premise.
Comments like “you did a good job” are not helpful. If you appreciate what someone did, honor them through thoughtful feedback.
