Group Assessment Criteria  
Mark Hill.jpg Science Student Projects
  1. The key points relating to the topic that your group allocated are clearly described.
  2. The choice of content, headings and sub-headings, diagrams, tables, graphs show a good understanding of the topic area.
  3. Content is correctly cited and referenced.
  4. The wiki has an element of teaching at a peer level using the student's own innovative diagrams, tables or figures and/or using interesting examples or explanations.
  5. Evidence of significant research relating to basic and applied sciences that goes beyond the formal teaching activities.
  6. Relates the topic and content of the Wiki entry to learning aims of embryology.
  7. Clearly reflects on editing/feedback from group peers and articulates how the Wiki could be improved (or not) based on peer comments/feedback. Demonstrates an ability to review own work when criticised in an open edited wiki format. Reflects on what was learned from the process of editing a peer's wiki.
  8. Evaluates own performance and that of group peers to give a rounded summary of this wiki process in terms of group effort and achievement.
  9. The content of the wiki should demonstrate to the reader that your group has researched adequately on this topic and covered the key areas necessary to inform your peers in their learning.
  10. Develops and edits the wiki entries in accordance with the above guidelines.

Here are some starting places for the topic. Can be patterning, differentiation, etc. as long as a developmental signal process/pathway.

Z5019880 (talk) 14:58, 26 August 2016 (AEST) Hey guys, I have added some sub-headings for the hedgehog signalling pathway, feel free to add any headings that might be useful for the topic, or suggest a different topic.

Hey guys, I've started doing some research on the animal models for the Hedgehog signalling pathway. I'm currently finding it a little difficult understanding some of the terms when researching the experiments done on Drosophila melanogaster so I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to how much detail to include. Also I have included some links that maybe useful for those researching mechanism and history: [1] [2]

Also, I thought I would just put in writing here that we want everyone to have completed their parts by the end of mid semester break so that we can meet up the following week to fix any issues with formatting and work on the introduction, conclusion etc. Thanks guys!! P.S. Did Mark mention that we shouldn't use research articles?

Z5019880 (talk) 23:30, 12 September 2016 (AEST) Hey, what you have added is really good! To be honest I'm not completely sure about how technical we have to be, because I have also found my self that there is a lot of chemistry when it comes to the signalling pathways etc. which makes it incredibly difficult for me to understand. At this point I reckon what you have now is enough, but we can always revisit it when we have added more to the page, to keep the content at a consistent depth. Also with regards to the research articles, I'm not entirely sure what Mark said, but I'm sure it would be alright to see what is written, and click into the citations to get further information, and just cite that. Anyway I've added a small piece on the processing of the Hh protein, but am unsure if It would be necessary to go more into the chemistry behind how the auto-cleavage occurs.

So I've read what you have written and I think it sounds coherent and it's also very easy to understand so good job! I think I'll do a little more research, I think it might be a little tedious to add information of Shh knockout mice considering the experiments on the chick embryo were quite similar but I'm open to suggestions. I was also thinking it would be useful to include a link to a short youtube video of some sort that would be able to visually explain the Hh signalling pathway (something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1xXD9kss2w but unfortunately this video has no audio but has some good visual and written cues). In regards to an image, I actually found a pretty decent image of this pathway but I'm not too sure if we can use it due to copyright. It says we can if it's not for commercial use so I think we should be ok.

Please let me know what you think of the diagram. I've just added something that looks like it could be helpful but feel free to edit/remove it if you don't think it is appropriate :)

Z5019880 (talk) 22:28, 26 September 2016 (AEST) The diagram looks great! I reckon as long as we include all the copyright it should be fine. We can probably eventually move the image next to the mechanism of signalling section when it is finished. I have started it, and will continue finishing it tomorrow, so if there are any issues with how I'm going about it, please don't hesitate to tell me.
