I like the fact that this is a creative project and gives us a way to apply our knowledge differently, but I think as a review it's only partially effective. We review excellently on the chapter we're doing, but not as well on all the others, and I'm not sure how effective this wiki will end up being as a tool for review overall. Some groups did excellent work on thier pages, while others did only the bare minimum of what they had to, and therefore didn't make a good review paper for the chapter. I think that we should have had more time to work on this, especially more class time. One confused period of getting the groups together and splitting up the work simply wasn't enough time, especially given how difficult it can be to communicate between multiple people. Unless you're good friends with everyone you're grouped with, it can be challenging to stay in touch, particularly since it's a group grade.

This project wasn't bad. It gave us a unique way of working together and expressing what we know in a different way than tests and essays. It allowed us to be creative in the ways we showed the information. A few problems would be that it can be difficult to work together outside of school, though if you are fortunate enough to be with a few of your friends it isn't too hard, and quality control can be tricky.
