TemplateWiki

Here are the initial set-up instructions:

Keep it simple and stick to the standard so that it will be easy for me to navigate. The Basic Requirements are:


 * Homepage**
 * 1) a photo (or representative avatar) of yourself
 * 2) title of your wiki (ex: JoeSmith'sPhysicsNotebook, PamJPhysics, PhysicsByMikeF)
 * 3) a list of links to each chapter/Unit of your notebook
 * 4) additional artwork is acceptable, but it cannot interfere with the above


 * Chapter**
 * Each chapter is required to be kept in chronological order -- just as you would in a notebook.
 * Use a subtitle for each assignment that includes title of assignment and date completed. (ex: Summary of Unit 1 Lesson 2, June 27, 2011)
 * Show all calculations in detail (equation used, numbers plugged in, and answer with units. You can use MathType if you want and upload a screenshot of your work http://lynchswikilog.wikispaces.com/Ch5_LynchM. Alternatively, you can write them NEATLY on paper and upload a clear photo. Photos of text MUST be easy to read. No exceptions.
 * You must write in the wiki -- not in Word. I will not open a separate document, so don't load it unless I specifically tell you to do so or you personally need it to record your work.
 * Use charts properly. Include borders. Use the //Edit Toolbar// above and select //Table// to draw charts, especially when organizing your notes, compare/contrast, or recording observations.
 * For data tables during lab, use Excel with imbedded calculations. Take a screenshot of the data table and upload the picture. All Excel files must also be uploaded so that I can check calculations if necessary.
 * Include photos of experiments as much as possible. Videos too. Keep videos short to the point.

Here are some sample wikis from former students that are worth checking out: Sample1, Sample2, Sample3. Look at the page, then explore the overall set-up. You may get some good ideas about how to organize your space for yourself.

If you have a wiki problem -- solve it on your own. This is a physics class -- not a wiki class. I can help with simple problems -- if they take 10 seconds to explain. Most wiki problems are usually because you did not listen or read instructions. Any bigger problems -- contact help@wikispaces.com. The wiki people have been great at responding the problems very quickly.

Here is a suggested format. However, you can play with the font/color/spacing and overall formatting and organizing as you wish as long as you follow the guidelines listed above.
