This site, much like pressinamerica.blogspot.com/, is a collaborative space for JRN 464, The Press in America. Students will be adding content to the site as a final project. The class will be divided into five groups of four students. Each student must contribute an original entry or page of 500 words. Each student must also edit the pages of the other members of his or her group for clarity, accuracy, comprehensiveness, grammar, and spelling. For purposes of grading, each entry is worth a maximum of 25 points. Students will receive a grade both for their individual work (25 points) and their group's work (100 points).
Students may earn supplemental points by adding annotated photos, annotated videos, or annotated links to pages written by you or your group members. Each additional contribution is worth a maximum of 5 points.
A list of potential topics for the essays can be found by clicking on Upload/view files in the upper right hand corner of this page. A link titled "Wiki Topics" will appear. Click on that to access the list.
Please use the following criteria (derived, with thanks, from Dr. Kevin Gaugler of Marist College) when writing a page:
