What would you like to know
This is the first time I am using this assignment. If it works well, we will do it again. It could be really cool, but we will see if we can make it such. There are four basic steps, described further below:
1. Starting at your course Discussion Board (not here), post what you would like to know more about.
2. Choose a classmates' post (what they would like to know more about) that interests you.]
3. Research that topic (from 2 above) and make a page on the wiki under Student Pages.
4. Going back to your course Discussion Board, leave a link for the classmate whose topic you researched. This last part is important for getting credit for the assignment.
1. Leave a post on the course Discussion Board describing one or two things you would like to know about mythology, philosophy or religion. This could be something you do not know anything about, something that you know a little about, or something that you already know a lot about. Either way, you would like to know more about this. The topic should be academic, educational, or intellectual, but let's interpret that in a broad sense. More important, is that you are curious about it. For example, I am interested to know more about the Trojan War, the Matriarchal time in ancient history, and the number Pi.
2. Look over the posts from your classmates. Identify at least one topic that you are interested in researching. Do some research on the topic, either on the internet, the library, or utilize your own knowledge base. Based on your research, write up a useful, educational presentation of what that person wanted to know. This can include some material copied from, or linking to what you find on the net, your own summarties and interpretations. You can also find relevant music, video and images (on the internet). Good work on your part is work that has educational value. Entertainment value is a good thing too, but primarily we want the person who wanted to know 'X' to get to know 'X' from the research you have done (for them!). Someone in the group should return the favor by researching what you want to know. Fair deal!
3. Submit your work (from 2 above) by creating a page on http://Philwiki.wetpaint.com. I have created a username and login that anyone in the group can use. Make a new page, add text, links, images and/or whatever you want to include. You can always go back and revise the page, so if you just get started at first, you can complete and improve your page later. Also, you can add to other pages in that section of the wiki. Thus, you can contribute to more than one page.
4. Finally, reply ( on the course discussion board) to the classmate whose topic you have researched, and leave a link to the page you made on their topic. They can then click it, and start learning what they wanted to know, compliments of you! You should also have a link to a page that someone made on the topic you were curious about. Fair deal!

Ok, so the simple version is: Think of something you would like to know about and write that in a reply to this post. Find someone else's post that is interesting to you, research the topic. Make a page on the wiki with your results. Going back to this discussion board, give the link to the classmate whose topic you researched.
