self-evaluation

I edited the wiki entry the way I did to give it more substance. I wanted to put in quotes from important literary figures like Mark Twain to expand the entry of language arts. I also wanted to look at this term from a teaching perspective.

self-evaluation

i edited and created this wiki entry the way i did because the previous post did not go into much detail about the working conditions as well as education requirements for people who are interested in insurance claims. i find the claims adjuster career interesting and exciting and i hope that i was able to express that in my editing of the wiki.

Self Evaluation

I created the entry that I did because I felt there was a need for people to know who Romona Robinson was. I saw that there was not an entry for this particular news caster. I still am having issues with getting it approved but I do have the entry done. She was a newscaster that did many significant things and won many awards so therefore I had plenty of information to put inside of the entry.

I edited the wikipedia page Teaching Methods. I wanted to edit this page because it was in dire need of help. It lacked information and citations. I edited in the way that I did because it was factual, helpful, and informative. The site barely had any information at all. It was like I created the page instead of only editing it.

Wikipedia Post

The reason I edited the Wikipedia page for Public Relations the way I did was easy: I wanted to keep things simple and straight to the point. The original document I had written up contained, after reading it again, more of my personal opinions about things and scenarios which probably shouldn't be included since people are seeking facts on the website and not opinions. Even though I thought I edited with decent, factual information...someone re-edited in the wee hours of the morning and deleted my information.

Wikipedia Self-Evaluation

I edited the Event planning entry on wikipedia because this is the particular career that i hope to have one day. The page did not have much but a paragraph on wikipedia so i expanded the page by adding details on how to break into the business, steps to event planning, working conditions, and networking. I created it in a way where first people could learn a little abou the event planning career then give more details as to what one should need in order to be an event planner. i think my edit was succussful because it is easy to read and pretty straight forward and has factual information about the business.

Wikipedia addition: Legal English

I decided to add a section called "Style Explanation" to the wikipedia topic "Legal English." I did this for a few reasons. First, the individual that made the page origionally did not talk about the style of language people use in the legal community. They mostly talked about the history and specific grammatical issues. I believe that style is important when analyzing a discourse community. Secondly, most importantly, it is necessary to explain why the legal community communicates the way they do. It is nice to point how lawyers and judges differ from the rest of the community when it comes to language. It is even more important to explain why there exists a difference from the rest of the community.

Self-Evaluation

The reasons for why I chose to edit the wiki entry the way I did was because I wanted to use the closest form of language to the wiki style that was reflected in the entry that I had edited. The style was loose and informative and I carefully imitated this style the best I could for this. I chose to edit the Public Speaking entry because it pertains to my career interest and is relevant to my major. I also felt that there was very little information about public speaking on the wiki entry and it was easier to edit for that page. I felt that the entry itself needed improvement and I am confident that my contribution was helpful.

Self Evaluation Post

I edited the North Towne Square Mall entry because I found it quite difficult to put up a new entry. Mainly because it took too long to approve and it was constantly being denied. I found that while editing North Towne Square mall, I learned the painful financial history that it went through during the years, and what the people planning on doing it with its property. In my opinion I though I did very good on discribing the history on North Towne Square mall.

This pertained to my last paper by describing how accounting can financially predict the death on the business. The main thesis of this report was that economically numbers made from the society can either create or destroy a business based upon how much they decide to purchase.
My original main goal for my last paper that I tried to do was describe the different areas in the business world so that the people who are try to get sucessful jobs can see where there going. This report teaches people what a unsuccessful business looks like, and advises them when to close their shop when necessary.

I chose to create the wikipedia page that I did because it was one that I thought would be useful to many people. I would have utilized the page early in the year for one of my classes, had it been created. I chose to make it look like the other supreme court cases that were posted on wikipedia. This would allow people to be able to go from page to page and know what to expect. Many of the people who will use my Wikipedia page will be trying to brief the case. I created the page to flow like a case brief so that it would be very helpful.

Self-Eval

I edited the wikipedia entry I did because it was something that tied to my career field and I had previously done research on it. I found a section on the web page that pertained to achievement gap strategies and saw that it lacked strategies that teachers can use to help close the achievement gap. I already had information on more strategies to use to I decided to expand the entry that was already there with what I had done research on previously.

Self-Evaluation

I wanted to say first and really quick that when I started this assignment I wasn't really sure about what I was doing and getting frustrated because I didn't think I would have anything to contribute. Now that I finished my paper and posted it to the Wikipedia I feel pretty excited that I got to contribute to someone else who wants to learn about Insulin Pumps. I posted the listing insulin pump under the term Intensive Insulinotherapy. The insulin pump is a treatment device used in this Intensive Insulintherapy. I thought that it tied in well with the rest of the Wiki entry that I added on to. I also posted my entry at the end so that people can first learn about he treatment then learn about the device.
