First, meet Andrew H. Golis ’06 and Chimaobi O. Amutah ’07, the agro-alchemists of the Cambridge Common protest blog (http://cambridgecommon.blogspot.com).

Participation in a class of 1,000 is already a relative term. And, with the debut of an online blog on which Sandel, students, and Teaching Fellows (TFs) regularly post, participation has become easier than ever...
