__Analysis__
SEPT 28 - I've never used wikispaces before, so this is still a novelty for me. I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time on here, playing around with the features, but I guess we'll see if that still sticks when midterms hit. There is already a tiny problem with Wikispace and that's the formatting problems I have sometimes. My name tends to disappear from the main list for no apparent reason, and my content is suddenly in Heading 2 format. Other than that, this seems an easy way to learn something new from the other students. I know some students already have Wiki experience and that's comforting in some way.

NOV 2 - Many times, I choose topics based on my interest or knowledge about them. Other times, I contribute to friends' pages in order to help them out as well. I definitely enjoy editing other people's spaces, especially the grammar as I'm a stickler for good grammar. Adding to other people's spaces is a great tool because we all come together as a community to create a better learning environment than if we were all learning off of one person. I regularly check my space for alterations because not only am I curious to see what has been changed, I want to know WHY it has been changed. I am definitely enjoying wikispaces so far.

DEC 7 - This course wiki provided many challenges. One of the biggest was thinking of a topic that hadn't already been done by someone else. Other than that, the research for the topics I finally chose to talk about was quite easy because this wiki does not require 100% academic work. My favourite thing was being able to add topics that interested me without being penalized for it. This was a great advantage. As well, all the students were able to help each other out when they had some issues with proper research or with adding relevant content to the pages. The course itself was fun because it pertained to the current media world we live in. However, I did not understand the relevance of the textbook other than for Assignment 1. Other than that, I enjoyed what this course had to offer and hope I enjoy CCT205 this much next semester.
