Wikis+by+Discipline

=Your Task:= //Please pair up with another person from your department and visit each of the wikis linked under your discipline. Spend time exploring each wiki and take note of the following://
 * 1) What seems to be the primary purpose/function of the wiki?
 * 2) Who seems to be the primary author(s)? Who is the intended audience (or is the wiki not written with a specific audience in mind)?
 * 3) Would you classify this as a "Tier 1" or "Tier 2" wiki (remember, one's not necessarily better than the other)?
 * 4) Critiques of the wiki in terms of both content & design (e.g., is it easily navigable, is there a lot of clutter/"bells & whistles", etc.)
 * 5) What similarities or parallels do you see between the content of these wikis and the curriculum at HCRHS?

//Please be prepared to report out your group's findings and walk the rest of the class through your assigned wikis. You may wish to bookmark pages within wikis for easy reference.//
