Wikis depend on continual effort by community writers to create a sustainable and active intellectual space. Our class Wikis  are  no exception, and this effort will be rewarded accordingly. The Wiki is your space. 

 I'm going to add #3 to the blog so that you can post the remainder there. If you prefer to have your reflections made private-print #3 and the remainder of the assignment and hand in.

Email your colleagues your wiki site. They will contribute to it. You are encouraged to invite those outside of our class when applicable.

Post Email: March 17 & Post Responses: March 28
