I'm not a statistician, but it seems to me that there is at least some correlation between doing the work and getting the grade.
I would like to see more participation on the blog, because this gives you grammar and writing practice with real life situations. Of course I'm not going to MAKE you do it, because you're adults. However, you are strongly advised (by the teacher) to take advantage of the help you are being offered (by the teacher). I'm not sure what more I can do to encourage you. The way you internalize a language is by practicing it. This is your chance to practice what we learn in class.
Also, as I have been saying all along, students are expected (by the teacher) to do the homework in the grammar book which is assigned (by the teacher) almost daily. Then the students are supposed to check their answers and bring their questions to class. In addition to the homework, the students have been given grammar workbook review sheets to do before the test. It is up to them whether to do the work or not.
