Reflection
1. Sept 26 I really enjoy working in the wikispaces environment because regardless of how many wikis I have seen, each wiki has it's own unique characteristics. Each wiki has its own individuals contributing and this makes each wiki different and exciting. I especially enjoy the extras that members add that are not asked or expected by the professor. I expect that I will post my main contribution as soon as possible and continually edit other pages. From my experience with wikis in CCT205, I understand that it is best to start early as possible on a wiki and also to edit other pages as to improve the overall quality of the wiki. Wikispaces pages can be difficult to format because of the bugs but I am usually able to format each page for optimal readability.

2. Nov 12 The topics I choose to contribute are ones where I understand the topic and can add useful information. It would be harmful to contribute to topics I am unfamiliar with since I would most likely be adding incorrect or irrelevant information. Since there is such an abundance of pages to read, I only go through the topics I find interesting. These are the pages I would edit if I saw any grammatical or formatting errors. The whole premise of a wiki is that all members will contribute and edit each other's work. I expect others to edit my postings and hope that others expect the same. If everyone were afraid of adding, editing or re-arranging other's work then our wiki would not be as strong as it can be. I usually do check if my postings have been altered because of curiousity and because I would like to see where I went wrong or what other members have to say about the topic.

3. Dec 8 I still enjoy working in wikispaces but now that I have been part of a few wikis in a class and a few outside of class, I have noticed some differences between this wiki and others. This content of this CCT333 did not easily lend itself to the wiki format because it required much more research than say the CCT300 wiki or Lostpedia (wiki about the TV show Lost). I didn't find the material as interesting but this is just my personal preference. I strongly believe that a spell check function would improve the efficiency of wikispaces as well as a multiple file uploading feature. Our wiki was very helpful when studying for the final because at any given time, if we happen to forget a certain term, we could look it up for a quick reminder.
