Evaluation

Here are the categories that will be evaluated by your project facilitators (Mrs. Durff and Mr. Jacklin)
 * 15 pts** A collaborative effort (as seen in the history) IF IT IS A GROUP WIKI. – 5 points Several participants have contributed. Wikis are collaborative. Each person brings their strengths and contributes things that they are good at to the project.


 * 10 pts** Visual appeal Graphics are used as needed and add to the message. Graphics are not distracting and used where needed to further explain a topic. If does not look cluttered.


 * 10 pts** Organization A table of contents is used, headings and underlines are used appropriately.


 * 10 pts** Hyperlinks to sources An effective wiki hyperlinks sources and gives readers additional information about the topic. Because most people tend to not trust wikis (they don't know the authors), you must include a variety of hyperlinks to be considered an effective source of information. As people follow your hyperlinks, they will begin to look at the information you've linked to. They will learn that you are an authority and that you've "done your homework." Make sure that you have checked your hyperlinks and that they work.

_ **10 pts** Original, intelligent wording The effective wiki summarizes information but never copies it! (Cite your sources.) The wording is intelligent and meaningful and jargon is not used. Wikis may be read by a global audience and authors must keep that in mind.

_ **10** **pts** Spelling/Grammar Punctuation (-1 each up to max)

_ **45 pts** Assignment criteria met as stated in the "Student Work" area of wiki homepage
