Wiki+Community+Building

=__**Class Participation and Wiki Community Building (10%) (ongoing from Weeks 2-12, final post March 30, 2010)**__=



==This course uses a wiki to stimulate discussion regarding the overall direction and evolution of our subject. On-going success of the wiki as a learning resource requires thoughtful and frequent input from the class. Community building may include (but is not limited to) organizing wiki pages, providing peer feedback, annotating examples, building resources such as glossaries, FAQs, graphics, technical guides, developing useful counter-examples to core concepts, etc. There are also specific wiki requirements for both assignments in this course (see Assignment 2 on pp. 8). Responding to, and commenting on, these assignments is a solid strategy for contributing to the wiki community. In addition 5% of this component will include lab attendance, in class/lab discussion, and submission of mini exercises to take place in during lab time. Additionally, you will be expected to facilitate the success of the class, by not disrupting via talking while I or others speak, or come in late, surfing the web for trivial reasons (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, IM, replying to emails, games etc).==
