231 posts
430 comments
177,108 words - that's about the same as JJR Tolkein's "Fellowship of the Ring"!

There were 13993 page views of the blog
59% of views were from the UK (mostly us?)
20% were from Europe, 16% from USA, and 6% from RoW

Here's a link to a Wordle, showing the most commonly used words in the blog.(apart from common words like and, the etc.)  Not surprisingly, "bacteria" and "bacterial" scored top. Not such a strong showing for "viruses" this year!

    Hi Colin,

    I think it’s fair to say this coursework blog project has been the most enjoyable and useful assignment in my degree. It was hard work for us, but I certainly don’t envy you having to mark them all each term.

    Thank you!!
    Vicky :+)
