APA REVIEW Pay attention to a quick lecture on common errors. Make the necessary corrections on your APA formatting.

ON YOUR GROUP WIKI 1. Read the comments posted by viewers of your group wiki. Each posted comment should have a response from you. Divide the work among your group members and assign each member specific comments to respond to. 2. Carefully consider the recommendations given by your viewers. Remember, criticism is a gift. It helps us improve our work. So keep an open mind. I know you all did your best on your project and I am proud of what you have accomplished so far. Now let us make it even better by capitalizing on recommendations given by others. 3. Remember to thank your viewers for taking time to give you feedback.

ON COMMENTS YOU POSTED ON OTHER WIKIPAGES 1. Go back to our postings and read the responses given to you by the wiki authors. 2. Extend the conversation by responding to these. In some cases, you may need to provide clarification on your earlier posting.
