Wiki Report

The midterm assignment is to update your team's wiki pages and for each individual to write a paragraph documenting your their contribution to the AguaClara project. Before you begin check out the latest suggestions at the wiki style guide.

Midterm Wiki

Wiki Organization

Individual Team Page

Each team wiki page needs to be thoroughly organized and updated using the following guidelines.

Each Individual team page should start with an h1 heading of the team name. This should be followed by an h2 heading of "Overview". The overview should be a brief paragraph explaining what the purpose of the team along with other relevant information.

Team Assignment

The links below lead to information regarding wiki formatting. Read through the set of instructions for your team carefully and be sure that your wiki pages are set up correctly and that they contain the right information.

• Research Team Wiki Page Organization
• Design Team Wiki Page Organization
• Outreach Team Wiki Page Organization

There are also links on the Team Member Resources page to guidelines on graph use, report syntax, and more.

Submission

Once complete, email your team leader with links to any pages that are in wiki-type and attach any posted word documents directly to the email.

Grading

Most subteams already have a wiki space set up. Your grade will depend on your team's ability to update that space and keep current information and images on it. A significant portion of your grade is based on formatting because improper formatting causes valuable information to get lost on a team of this size. It is also important to portray a professional image and having inconsistent formatting hinders that.

After reviewing the pertinent wiki pages and documents, each team will be given feedback about their semester progress. It will indicate what, if any, areas of your wiki space needs to be worked on further. The grade will be based on the content of your wiki report, the team's progress/apparent effort as it relates to your semester goals, your individual contribution explanation, and your ability to follow the wiki organization guidelines

Research Teams

Add sections for all new experiments that have been run so far and any results the team has. Also make sure to update the introduction, goals, and conclusions as needed. If your team is designing new apparatus, then document your design process including

• design assumptions (basis of design)
• drawings that clearly show how the apparatus will be constructed
• equations that are used to solve for the parameters

If you developed new analytical tools describe the basis of the tools and illustrate how those tools are used to extract meaning from the data.

Design Teams

Create detailed documentation of your design process. For each element of the project (for example the dimensions of the sedimentation tank or the diameter of the effluent launder) include

• all of the design assumptions (basis of design)
• the equations that are used to solve for the parameters
• a brief description of the solution process
• drawings of the plant where those drawings would help clarify the design process.

Individual contribution documentation

Add a paragraph to your personal page describing your contribution to the AguaClara project this semester. Your personal page can be accessed by typing your NetID in the search field or by following the link from your NetID in the table of Team Members Fall 2008.

Currently, each personal page lists all pages created by that individual. At the top of you personal page add a paragraph explaining what you have worked on for the first half of the semester. If you have created new wiki pages, or updated old wiki pages to explain experiments performed, to document design work, etc, place links to those within the paragraph explanation.
