After spending time creating my section of the wiki textbook I have decided that creating a textbook has to be one of the hardest jobs. I feel may partner and I did some pretty good research but at what point do you stop and then put your information together. Information available to us is ever changing. This makes it hard to tell if the information we wrote about is the best and most correct information available. I guess this is where a wikibook is appropriate. Any time new data comes around you can make modifications to the work already available.
It was difficult for me to decide what information to keep and toss when I had to summarize my theorists. I found them all very interesting but knew I only had about 1000-1500 words to work with. Also the section we are writing is a summary of origins and backgrounds so I tried not to get to carried a way. Overall this was a very intimidating but interesting experience. I hope as the semester progresses this process will become easier. I did notice the pace is certainly going to pick up. I am grateful we had extra time for the first run. I am interested to see how my classmates have formatted their research for their wiki post on Wednesday. Anyone else care to share their first wikibook experience???
