Assignments: Wiki Response

Once published on the wiki — by noon on June 27 — you will have the opportunity to respond to the articles written by other groups. I would like you to choose at least one article to which you will respond. As the wiki provides numerous means for response, you have numerous possibilities for responding. For example, you may write a response to the article — a counter-argument, a supporting elaboration, an editorial, a polemic — you may edit the article directly — adding or subtracting prose, changing the article's structure and format — or you may provide additional supporting or countering resources — links, book and article references, multi-media embeds (e.g., YouTube videos) and the like. Given this array of possibilities, I will not offer particular requirements regarding your responses' length, format and structure.

Your goal is to craft direct, engaged, insightful responses (of the kind suggested above) based on your judgment of the article's argument, evidence and presentation. Unfortunately, given the compressed timing of the summer semester, you have only a 36-hour window in which to respond.

Requirements

Due: No later than midnight June 28:

At least one response to an article (not written by your group) posted on the Science & Technology Controversies wiki. The nature of your response rests with your judgment.
