1) What would you change about the final product (the wiki you created) if you were to do the assignment again?

If I were to do the assignment again, I would put more detail into it, spend more time researching, and try to use my time in class and at home wisely. I would put more detail into it by spending more time researching. I would spend more time researching by using my time wisely, so that I would have the maximum amount of time to work on the project. To use my time wisely, I would try not to get distracted by other things and concentrate.

 2) Look at some of the other wikis from any class and find a few that you think are done exceptionally well. Tell me the name of the empire and the block, and then explain what you like about their wiki.

I really liked the Swahili Costal Trading States wiki from block D. I liked how they organized things by titles and subtitles. I also liked how they had paragraphs explaining each topic. The lists they had were also good, but were a bit hard to read. The lists would’ve been better if they were in bullet points. I liked the fancy titles from cooltext, but some of them were a bit too fancy. Overall, I thought it was a great wiki.

I also liked the Kongo Kingdom wiki from block H. I liked how they gave descriptions for every link to a different page. I also liked how they put a lot of pictures and content. The links to definitions were good too. The only thing i didn’t like were all the cooltext logos. I thought some pages had too many, such as place and regions. Also, some of the text on the home page was a bit hard to read because they were barely spaced out. I thought they did a great job.
