** What to do Week 8-10: **

//**Group Assignment: 3.2 - Group Wiki**// With your team, begin creating you Guides for College Success in the team page associated with your group. Each student is expected to only join one group. Each group should consist of 3 to 5 students (small classes will work in pairs). Group expectations are posted at the top of your team page and listed below. If the team agrees you can modify this list and make a plan as to how you will work together on your project: <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">1. define the topic/area that will be the focus on your group guide (i.e. a study skills area that will help students succeed in college), <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">2. explain why this topic is important for college and/or ESC studies, <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">3. propose, discuss and evaluate strategies, resources, and best practices that will help students succeed in college via this study skills area, <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">4. provide and discuss references for the group to create the guides (all references must be cited with a proper citation style), <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">5. provide group members' names. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Anyone can start working on their group guide by editing their team page in the wiki. Each member of the group is expected to contribute one academic source, (e.g., **peer-reviewed journal article**, ebook, or online educational resources) and read other members' sources in order to collaboratively develop the group guides. You can either add your academic source to your group wiki page (i.e., group guides) or to the "discussion" area linked to your team page, by listing your source with a proper citation style or including a link to the source. To maintain high quality and usefulness of the guides, every member has responsibility to ensure the sources they use are reliable and of high quality. Therefore, in your group discussion, via "discussion", you should engage in an evaluation of the quality and usefulness of the sources your group members suggest. //<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">NOTE: To easily embed references on your wiki page try the following: Click – Edit / Widget / Reference. Follow prompts from there. //
