Student Page

Group 1

This page is very well structured and sequential. It provides a very detailed explanation of development under chronological subheadings. Subpages under images are well informed, but some images lack a proper Copyright phrase to indicate reproducibility. On the main page, some subheadings need to be capitalised (formatting) and student signatures need to be provided on relevant sections. The "Anatomy of the Cerebral Cortex" section is filled with dot points, and could be improved using Wiki formatting. The layout of the Abnormalities section could be improved, by changing the headings and subheadings. The page could benefit from a glossary list and 'Future Research' section. However, the reference list was well constructed. Overall the the page addresses the brief very well.

Group 2

This page is very informative and easy to read. I like the way it begins with the anatomy of the kidney in the developed human, and then progresses through its embryological development. The inclusion of developmental timeline table aids the flow of the page. Images are well integrated into the page with informative descriptions, however are not correctly referenced and do include the suitable Copyright statement. The page references well, but many sections are still unfinished. The page would benefit from a glossary at the end, and the "general info on the renal system" section should be included higher up on the page, or integrated into one of the other sections such as under the "kidney" heading. This page is very easy to read, but still needs some work.

Group 4

This is a well structured page, that approaches the eye from the basics. I like that the anatomy and underlying physiology of the eye is established before the developmental processes. Overview is brief and to the point, and the Embryonic Contributions table is an important aspect. Iris development could be expanded on, and more journal article images could be included. The "Opac figure" file does not have the correct Copyright notice. On the whole this is a very good page.

Group 5

This paper is divided into logical categories however lacks an introduction to lead into the discussion of lung development. The student drawings are all good, and the developmental timeline is very informative. The images are well referenced and have the appropriate Copyright. The "Structure of Respiratory Network", "Developmental signalling processes", "Research" and "Animal models" sections of the page lack in-text citations and thus lack credibility. The references need to be fine tuned, and the formatting of images is required. Otherwise this is a very informative page.

Group 6

This page is very informative, well set-out, and easy to follow and read. The information is well-referenced and the images have the correct Copyright. The page would be improved by including a "Future Research Questions" section.

Progress Diary

Week 6

This weeks contribution to the project involved importing an image from a peer-reviewed article that is an overview of the developmental origin of the heart. This included using correct uploading, referencing and copyright practices. Additionally I began working on the Introduction to our page.

Introduction

The cardiovascular system is the first system to develop and function in the human embryo, and at week four of prenatal development, the heart begins to beat. At the beginning of stage nine (middle of week three) we see the functional folding of the neural plate and development of the neural tube give rise to the differentiation of the germ layers into products that eventually form the fully functional embryonic heart. Advances in technology, ‘coupled with the use of suitable animal models’ has allowed the evolution of our understanding of embryological cardiac developmental, and allows us to observe how it has stemmed from the more “classical accounts”.

Week 5

This week, I mainly learnt how to use certain Wiki tools and commands to help format the group project closer to the submission date. This included importing pictures, adding in internal references and references to sites such as PubMed.
