Objective: <\/em>The idea here is to create an orientation guide for students who are new to my class. This isn’t an evaluation or a product review, but a guide designed to set a noob’s expectations and teach them how to be successful in this class.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This will be a wiki<\/a> page strapped onto the class blog. For this assignment (if you choose to do it; remember, you don’t have to), you can sign up to be a site manager to set up all the categories, an editor, or a writer for the wiki.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s the link to the sign-up sheet<\/a>.\u00a0Only sign up in the boxes that are outlined. <\/em>You have many choices. There are more than eighty boxes here. If you sign up as an editor for a category, and no one signs up as a writer, guess what? You’re the writer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The glossary entries will be short, so if you want to do these, you can sign up for multiple entries.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This whole project should take a couple hours of your time. Do it well, do it right, but don’t do it for a really long time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Due dates:<\/em><\/p>\n

Site manager: 4\/16<\/p>\n

Writers: 4\/20<\/p>\n

Editors: 4\/27<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deliverable<\/em>:<\/p>\n

After you finish, write up a short summary of your contribution. Detail what you did, and show me the text you wrote\/edited. I’ll verify your claims by checking the wiki’s dashboard. Keep in mind that this write-up will be a type of persuasive essay, so make sure you back up your claims with evidence. Turn this in with your final portfolio.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grading:<\/em><\/p>\n

You can earn 1, 3, or 5 points on this assignment. 5 points will be for taking a lead role and\/or making an exemplary contribution. 3 points will be for making a significant contribution. 1 point will be for giving it a shot and not screwing up the wiki.<\/p>\n
