From RhetorClick

I am a senior English Writing & Rhetoric major here at St. Edward's and will be graduating in May. I recently returned from spending the Fall semester with a study abroad program in Jordan and cannot wait to go back in the near future. Upon graduation I am hoping to take part in the Master's International program through the Peace Corps. The program combines graduate school with Peace Corps service.

Wiki Contribution:

I focused my efforts on the article summaries and author pages. I added author biographies and a few article summaries. Most of my time was spent formatting and connecting these two sections. I went through all the author biographies and added cohesive section headings (such as "article summaries, other works," etc. I made sure that they looked the same on every author page. I then linked the author pages to the specific article summaries. This had already been done on a few of the author pages, but I did it for a majority of them and made sure they all worked. I then added links from the article summary pages back to the author pages. For the authors who have web pages, especially through universities, I added a link to their home page. I didn't get all of them done but I managed to add a few.

According to the Wiki Assignment Guidelines, I feel that I assisted with the following:

- Establishing and refining policies to promote consistency of style and voice throughout the site

- Rearranging content on a page to improve clarity and to ensure consistency among similar pages

- Copyediting and proofreading pages to ensure conformity with wiki guidelines

I also volunteered for an extra day of note taking and added those notes to the "Class Notes" page.
