Reference no: EM131124095

Instructions for Initial Wiki Page:

For the first part of this assignment, choose an item from the list provided, use reliable reference sources to compile an explanation for that item, and post the definition to the Glossary.

Step 1: Choose an item from the Wiki Page Glossary Listand create a page in the Glossary Wiki. No item may be used more than once. See individual instructor guidelines for claiming items on the board.

Step 2:

- Research the item in the historical context of this course. For example, if defining a religious belief, define it in the context of the period being studied, not in modern terms. Thus, Roman Catholicism should be defined in the medieval context of roughly 500-1500.

- Use reliable reference sources (encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.) and works of historical scholarship (peer-reviewed journal articles, essay collections, historical monographs, etc.).

- Use the JFL online library to find reliable reference sources.

- Do not use an open web search, popular magazines, works targeting children, or any course textbooks, including your textbook for this course.

Step 3: Define the term in your own words. Write the definition in paragraph form. The post should be a minimum of 150 words and should not exceed 400 words. Do not include any direct quotes.Follow the guidelines on the Wiki Page Glossary List for substantive content.

At the end of the post, include a full bibliographic entryfor each of the 3 sources that you referenced. Entries should follow current Turabian guidelines.

Step 4: The Initial Wiki Page is due no later than 11:59p.m. (ET) Monday of Module/Week 2.

Instructions for Wiki Edits:
Step 1:Open the Glossary Wiki and select at least 2 definitions for revision.
**Note that editing your own page does not count toward this grade.

Step 2:Consult at least 1 additional source using the same guidelines as for the initial page.

Step 3:Make any changes that will improve the quality of the explanation. Focus more on substantive content revisions than grammar/mechanic revisions. Add the reference alphabetically to the already present list of references.

Step 4: Edits may be posted any time between Modules/Weeks 2 and 7. The Wiki Edits are due no later than 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 7.

Grading:
The initial Wiki Page will be graded based on:
1. Appropriate use of sources
2. Thorough and accurate definition/explanation
3. Quality of writing

The Wiki Edits will be graded based on:
1. Substantive additions placed within the text of the original page
2. Appropriate use of sources and additional source consulted
