Begin by logging in (if you have not already) by clicking on the log in link at the top right hand part of the page. Then, click the edit button to begin writing your contribution to the class notes. You can come back any time to edit what you have written, or to edit or add to what others have created here. Ultimately, the goal is to have a useful set of class notes for use in studying for the final exam. This is, of course, also a part of the assigned and graded work for the class. Please remember that because this is a wiki, all changes can be tracked, so I will be looking for your participation and the quality of your contributions!

The wiki notes MUST NOT simply transcribe what is on the board, the PowerPoint, or the textbook. Instead, you must include as a group the following elements:

1. A 150-200 word summary of the day's activities - what was the main point of the class and how was it arrived at. 2. A 150-200 word summary of each assigned reading, including the textbook and any other assigned readings, and a brief summary of how these fit together with the days discussion. 3. Transcribe at least one passage that we talked about in class and explain how it related to the subject of the class. 4. Key terms that came up in class, plus definitions. 5. Three links to reputable websites that in some way explain, expand on, or correct what was said in class.
