I didn't know if I needed to link my page to your talk page since I did it for last week's assignment but I thought I would do it anyways just to be safe. Nbarton10 (talk) 21:10, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

So this is the assignment for week four; linking each others user page. [[1]] (Aspadoni206 (talk) 19:22, 24 September 2011 (UTC))

Hey!
Part of this weeks assignment on blackboard is to post something on a classmates page so I thought I would post something on yours. That's about all I have to say so I will see you in class on Tuesday. Nbarton10 (talk) 07:13, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Just testing the talk page here :) I am excited to work with you on this project! (Kyokoyama (talk) 06:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC))

Feedback - Week 4 Assignments

Hi Tiffany, Nice job linking to my page and your group member's pages. The links were taking me to a description of "article" vs. the topics. I will go in and edit the first so that you can see what I did and then you can fix the last two? Additionally, a critical evaluation and edit means that you add something of substance vs. making grammatical or stylistic changes. In terms of feedback on the potential topics. Gerascophobia seems problematic from the standpoint of a non-existent literature (if I used gerontophobia there were 8 published articles - most quite dated). If you can't access reliable and valid information about the topic your ability to contribute will be limited. Both alogia and pica seem workable. Although there already is a decent structure present for both there also is a substantial literature that you should be able to consult to learn more about both and ultimately write about and share that knowledge in expanding the articles. Let me know how I can help along the way. Tatompki (talk) 20:41, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Feedback - Week 5 Assignments

Hi Tiffany, Looks like you are getting the hang of editing (and adding editing summaries and evaluative feedback on talk pages), referencing and linking... nice job! You have earned full points for this assignment but I encourage you to look again at what is meant by reliable sources (i.e., when you write your article you will want to rely almost exclusively on peer-reviewed, published literature which can be found on the library website using EBSCOhost and/or PsycINFO). Hopefully your group is getting a bit closer to narrowing down to your topic? Let me know if you need any help!Tatompki (talk) 04:48, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Here is a link to all the contributions I have made. It has everything, including my beginning edits, peer review and changes to our article. contribs

My experience in this project was only okay. I think it is a good project in theory. It does allow us to work as a team to write an article on something that is not fully developed. However, writing the article is frustrating. It is almost more work to figure out how to use Wikipedia than it is to write. I became irritated and frustrated. I feel like a more effective project would just be to write a paper. But in theory, this was a good idea.

My group and I did not do a lot of communicating on our talk pages. We communicated more often via email. (Tiffanybn (talk) 07:53, 6 December 2011 (UTC))
