Game Genre Wiki
This wiki serves as a group project for FMMC 0282 in Spring 2014. Each student should select one of the game genres from the list below and create a detailed analytical page. On each page, students should create an analysis of the genre that effectively defines the genre, provides its history, discusses at least three important examples of games within the genre, and analyzes its significance within the scope of videogame studies as explore within the course. Each page should be a coherently written mini-essay, not a series of bullet points. All sources should be cited, and the page should include links both within the wiki and to external sources. All writing should be in the students' own words, or clearly marked as cited quotations.
Each student has ownership of one specific page. They are responsible for creating a first draft for that page, and managing subsequent edits. Students are expected to contribute to at least three other pages as well as maintaining their own primary page. Students are encouraged to use the Talk pages to discuss and plan edits.
The project will be assessed twice throughout the semester. On April 7th, the wiki will be locked for editing while Prof. Mittell assesses progress and leaves comments on pages. It will then be reopened and assessed again on May 15th at 5pm.
Students will be graded on three components: the overall quality of the entire wiki (a shared class grade), the quality of each student's owned page, and the level of participation from each student. These grades will be shared at each assessment point and averaged together for the final grade.
