Analysis and Reflection:

Having already done this assignment once for CCT205 and currently doing it in another class, CCT333, I was skeptical about doing the wiki assignment. I was skeptical because I do not like it when people criticize my work and I am afraid that people will completely delete my posts. I have no problem with people adding on and editing but I think it is cruel to just delete and ridicule other people's work. I put more effort in this year's wiki as opposed to last year when I waited until the last minute and was so overwhelmed; there were limited topics that people had not yet done and the edits I did were minimal. This assignment is longterm and should not be left until the last minute, adding a little each day or once a week can make a big difference. Giving myself time to research and plan ahead works out so I am confident in what I am writing and adding to the wiki. I contribute information and material that I am confident about; I research and know that my information is valid.

I contribute to postings that I know enough information about to add on to. I look for topics that I am confident in and am familiar with. I think it is good to add, edit, and proof read other people's work because little things like grammer and spelling should be corrected on assignments like this and sometimes it is hard to find your own mistakes which is why it is better to have someone else read your work. I do not think it is right to completely delete other people's work; no one has the right to just get rid of it as if it does not matter and is irrelevant information. I believe in re-arranging and adding on to someone else's work but I think that deleting it completely is harsh and insensitive. I have no yet checked my postings for alterations because I am afraid that it will be completely different from the way I formatted it.

Reflection:

Challenges and limitations I experienced on the wiki were just limited topics to choose from; I did not begin this assignment right away however, I did not wait until the last minute either. It worked out in the end but some of my pages were in relation to already posted topics. There was not much editing I found that needed to be done on some pages just minor mechanics and grammer mistakes. For the pages that I did add material on to, I posted maybe a paragraph at most because people already posted the most significant information. Advantages and benefits I found while using the wiki would have to be study notes and lecture notes. They were great study guides for the final exam and I definitely benefitted from them and who ever posted those is a genius. I thought this wiki worked well because everyone understood the concept of a collaborative space, edits, additions, and proof reading was done to pages whereas last year people deleted other people's pages completely. This year we all worked well together and helped each other out, which was nice, calming, and reassuring.
