Week 4 - It's been a long ride

General
1

This week has been difficult. Specifically, when submitting a large project, you can be unsure of your work and its accuracy and completion.
The pieces of training add a fact to Wikipedia, and building a bibliography was helpful. However, completing the activity can take a while as you have to do research and also ensure the research is credible. Long gone are the days of a single Google search.
Chapter 5 of Writing in the Digital Age was informative. Focusing on the audience rather than yourself or your team is critical. I enjoyed the examples of contributions editors should make to ensure that the content is verifiable, such as location, weather, and accents.

I agree! It has been a long ride so far. This class feels like at least 2 in 1.

I enjoy doing the research for the various articles, but it is definitely the most time consuming part. It is frustrating to find a good amount of sources but not the kind of sources that Wikipedia likes.
