Um, today's journal questions? As in July 7th? o.o Well, I'm not a TA or anything, but I would say that it has to be long enough to answer the questions properly. Like, the Digital Divide questions would definitely be longer than say, the pizza question. XD That one could be, like, one word. XDXDXDXD But, I'd wait for a TA or Kass/Trev to answer. Maybe I've been doing all of my logs wrong! o.O

I'm sure you will find this response to be completely unsatisfactory, but it's the one I'm going with: your journal question answers should be as long as they need to be. :P

While I'll defer to your actual teachers' policies on answering journal questions, I'd like to say that there is clearly an unsatisfactory type of journal answer. And this is understood via simple common sense. Whose do you think the satisfactory journal answer is below? Student A or B?
Student A.
Q: What do you think of MySpace?
Ans.: It sux.
Student B.
Q: What do you think of MySpace?
Ans.: It sucks. Mostly because it's hard to read. There's too much going on to focus on anything on the page. And besides, some perv might be stalking you by following your site real closely.
Pretty obvious, yes?

And another obvious thing is that length of answer (which is really easy to do, as you well know), doesn't automatically equate with the thoughtfulness of said answer.
My point is pretty straightforward: the answer to a journal question--whatever length it might be beyond a few-word response that obviously reeks of indifference--should suggest that the writer gave some thought to it.
