__**Analysis (5%)**__


 * 1. When first encountering wiki at the beginning of the course.**



It is clear that this is a great collaborative learning environment that students can communicate online asynchronously. Students including myself are often lazy to communicate and discuss with peers physically in the library or elsewhere. However this online environment allow students to save their time and filter the indolence within students when expressing themselves. This online environment is extremely easy to question, express, discuss, and to be answered for it is all online and everything is linked within the wikispaces. For instance in case of a group work, if all the members can not meet at once, they all can work individually online through this virtual space.

This is my first course using Wikispaces.com. Throughout this course, I expect myself to participate, express, and contribute more in every aspects of the course contents. In comparison to the WebCT in my previous courses, students were strictly confined to the narrow limits. Thus there were not much active involvement of students and consequently the participants of the WebCT gradually decreased throughout the term. For the wide range of functions and numerous useful hyperlinks given to the students in Wikispace will change me to come into play and contribute more to the course in general.


 * 2. Think about the following and answer to the best of your ability**

> I do not have certain methodology on choosing which posting to contribute or change. I merely click the names that I am aquainted with and read through their works. Besides if there are any topics that are familiar to me, I would also read those texts. Firstly because I am well-informed with those subjects, secondly because I would not need to research before comprehending his/her work, and lastly because I should be able to contribute to that work somewhat.
 * How do you choose which postings to contribute or change?
 * What are your thoughts on adding, editing or re-arranging other people's work?
 * Do you regularly check your own postings for alterations? Has anyone changed your work and how have you felt about it?

When revising other's text, I personally concentrate on use of pronouns to see if they match up with certain subject or object. It is quite annoying when the pronouns are vague about what it is referring to. I do check my postings for alteration regularly but not daily. When someone have changed my work, I was glad that he/she is watching on mine, yet on the other hand I felt pressure on my shoulder as well that I should strive my best not to make any errors in the future.
