To-Do

1. study the document “Projects for the HCC Foundation Course” (in “Students’ Projects” on the Wiki)
2. select a project that is of real interest to you
3. find collaborators and form a group of peers (such a group may already exist) with whom you will work on the project
4. sign up for the project (if it is still available) on the site “Students’ Projects”
5. identify parts of the project and an initial role distribution between your team members
6. each team member should contribute
   1. a brief rational what she/he finds interesting
   2. what she/he plans to do to get started on the project

Which project did you select?

Project-4: Wikipedia versus KNOL: Different Approaches to Create Interesting Encyclopdias

Describe the parts of the project you have identified and the initial role distribution among your team members

Andrew Fischer: Study these different environments and determine their strengths and weaknesses.

For each team member, provide a brief rational what she/he finds interesting

Andrew Fischer: I use wikipedia on nearly a daily basis, not just as a resource for school, but as a fun way to learn about things outside my field of study.  I chose this topic in order to determine whether wikipidia is the best place for me to be getting information, or if another website, like KNOL might be better.

For each team member, provide a statement of what she/he plans to do to get started on the project

Andrew Fischer: I will start by looking up articles on the same subject in wikipidia, KNOL, and Britanica.  I will compare these articles and judge them based on their readability, their quality of the information, their quantity of information, and their quality of original sources.
