Reflection

 * 1) I find the wiki environment a very interesting and unique one. Everything is open and people are invited to make changes and enhance the space. I like the idea of a whole class collaborating to make something educational and useful for the course. I expect myself to participate as much as possible and contribute quality content to the wiki.
 * 2) When I make edits it I tend to choose articles which I am familiar with and can provide quality input. I don’t want to add nonsense because that is not the point so whenever I feel I can make an article better I contribute. I have no problem editing other peoples work, but I don’t think people should delete it entirely. They should respect the author and modify their writing to make it better instead of just deleting it. I regularly check the history of my pages and people have made modifications which I feel have made my articles better. As for my genre article nobody has edited it thus far.
 * 3) Throughout this whole wiki experience I don’t believe I experienced any challenges. I did experience some limitations with the website not allowing me to edit its cascading style sheets - which limited my creativity on certain pages. Overall I think in the end I managed to benefit from the wiki. I found it really helpful in getting class notes, and getting important questions about assignments answered. As far as the course goes, I initially found it to be a little strange to be learning about comic books. Then as time went by and I read McCloud’s 1st book I really began to enjoy it and found comics to be a really interesting medium/super entertaining. I am really glad I took this course because I have actually learned something and broadened my knowledge. I would reccomend this class to students looking to take a 300 level course next year.
