My Project 1 Assigments
Assignment 1.1 (term 1)
| |
| |
| ...more help |
Your first project assignment is the following:
- Perform individual research on a number of concepts relevant to migration-related policy,
- publish your explanations and insights in the PM (TRIAS) wiki, in accordance with the IPM wiki criteria,
- peer-assess fellow students' contributions, and
- collaboratively elaborate and improve multiple wiki entries about concepts relevant to migration-related policy.
In the first weeks (calendar weeks 37 and 38) of the project, a list of selected topics related to the policy field of migration will be made available. Before (the end of) Friday October 2nd 2009, pick one of these topics and research it with the objective of writing an 'encyclopedic' public management wiki page about this topics bearing on the Project Theme of MIGRATION.
After completing a first version of 'your' wiki page (deadline: Wed Oct 14th, 2009), you are assigned to peer assessing several pages within the same project in the TRIAS wiki. Finally, you will work on improving both your initial topic page and the two or more pages you peer-assessed, or any two or more other pages in case you were not given a list of pages to peer assess (eg. when you failed to meet the p-a deadline). Your grade will reflect all your contributions, to both initial and assessed pages and any others you edited (!), including your feedback in the peer assessment round, as well as the overall final quality of all pages of which you were 'firsteditor', editor or assessor. The final deadline for all 'wiki-work' is Fri Nov 20th, 2009.
Note: The list of existing pages closely related to the Theme portals you will be working on in term 2 may provide you with some additional inspiration for other pages to edit, or link to or from. See the 'Portaleditor' box (above) on your user page for the list!
The first lectures, the wiki workshops and the on-demand consultations will help you on your way to writing a properly embedded wiki page and constructively assessing and enhancing other students' work in the TRIAS wiki.

The peer assessment involves an IPM student providing structured, constructive and useful feedback on the work of one or more other IPM students. To be more specific; this feedback concerns the contents and setup of an 'encyclopedic' draft page (or portal) in this wiki, regardless of how many editors contributed - so it is not the assessment of a person, it is a page-based evaluation of quality. The feedback is an integral part of this wiki, making use of the discussion tab with each student-created draft page.
The feedback should make explicit use of:
- The relevant assignment description, applicable to the student contributions on the draft page (in this case IPMProject 1 Assignment 1)
- The general IPM criteria for wiki pages
More details about performing the peer assessment may be found in the Help section of this wiki!
Almost every draft related to IPMProject 1 has a discussion tab with the required fields (headers and help text) already provided. Only in a few cases, the 'discussion'-tab belonging to a draft page may still be 'red', implying that no remarks have been made yet. When the peer assessment phase has begun, clicking such a red link will provide the student-assessor with a preload option 'Start IPMProject1 09-10 peer assessment', which will automatically produce the required peer assessment sections on the discussion page (a.k.a. Talk page). Correctly filling in these sections ensures the completeness of the feedback provided.
In some cases, the discussion tab is already 'blue', because someone has already posted 'non p-a' remarks about a draft page there. The appropriate IPMP1 feedback sections will already have been added to this 'Talk:Draft'-page below these remarks. When more than one peer-assessing student was assigned to a draft page, more instances of these sections will have been provided. Inform your teacher when you nevertheless cannot find any available p-a sections.
The required feedback items are:
- Add your name (wiki-signature ~~~) to the peer-assessment header
- General impression
- Application of assignment specifics and general wiki criteria
- Strong points
- Insufficient points
- Remarks about source quality, referencing and copyright
- Assessment of internal wikilinks
- What must be improved? (Minimum 2 practical suggestions for adding value)
Do not forget to sign (all!) your assessment remarks with the signature button or typing --~~~~... You are on a discussion page, so making yourself known is the right thing to do, following the wikiquette!
IPMP1.1 Resit details
As a resit for the Integrative Public management Project 1.1 Assignment, you will need to do the following:
When you want to submit your resit work in this wiki for assessment, please do so on the user page of the teacher who posted the insufficient label on top of your user page, by means of a reassessment request. Reassessment requests need to be posted before the resit deadline of February 5th, 2010, any posts with a later timestamp will not be accepted for evaluation! HOW TO REQUEST RE-ASSESSMENT? Request re-assessment by placing your name in the appropriate list on your tutor's user talk page. To do this, click on the name of your tutor in the following list and use the 'signature button' ( In principle, any student participating in the First IPMProject whose wiki contributions were evaluated no more than once before, may participate in this resit. This means that students with a sufficient grade for the first chance are also free to make improvements and attempt to achieve a better score - as long as they submit a re-assessment request before the deadline. Both students with a sufficient and those with an insufficient grade for the first chance will automatically receive this resit description on their user page - this does not mean everyone is obliged to take the resit! |
Assignment 1.2 (term 2)
Activities and products: Project groups working on issue-based wiki portals. In the second term of the migration project, students will be working together in groups. Building on the research results from the previous project phase, the project groups will adopt two major issues connected to international migration. The project assignment requires students to work together in an 'editorial' fashion to set up and maintain a set of wiki web portals for their 'own' thematic issues. Based on understanding of meaning, students will be linking recent developments from the news, theoretical views, historical and policy practice, facts and figures etc. to the 'fragments of knowledge' already present in the wiki from the first assignment.
Requirements for the different portal sections
Introduction
This section is the first thing a visitor of this portal will read! Make sure to provide a welcoming and to-the-point text, briefly introducing the portal theme and explaining the purpose of this portal so the reader knows what to expect right away. Take care to limit the amount of text, so the introduction box does not expand so much that it pushes the layout of lower portal sections off the screen! Read the IPM criteria to be aware of the purpose of a portal. TIP: It is highly recommended to refrain from using pictures here, or at least radically downsize them to not waste the limited space available (there already is a portal logo section!)
Featured
The 'featured item' section is the showcase area, the shop window of a portal. It contains a representative display of the content of an existing (encyclopedic) page from THIS wiki, about a topic most relevant for the theme of this portal, of course including several internal wiki links for further reading. The selected item should be of high quality to be showcased here! Do not post the entire content of another wiki page here, but give a representative sample of its text (the definitions and some initial explanation, an example maybe, wiki links) and when of added value, a picture. The featured item should change frequently (at least once a week) for this section to remain interesting to returning readers! This section is exemplary of the rule that portals should offer no content that is not also present elsewhere in the TRIAS wiki! TIP: include a list of previously featured items, for example by using <noincludes>. TIP2: When the best topics you would like to present here do not exist yet, or are below IPM wiki standards, create and/or improve these pages to make them featurable!
In the news
In this section, the portal visitor should be given an overview of important news items which have a significant impact w.r.t. the theme of this portal. Rather than parrot news texts, the items displayed here should each clearly explain the connection between a recent event and the portal theme and then provide external link references to original news reports elsewhere. NB: Adding a date to a news item is imperative. This section requires constant updating! Up-to-dateness and relevance w.r.t. the portal theme are the most important criteria here! Each item should of course also contain relevant internal wiki links to pages within the TRIAS wiki! TIP: It is advisable to place the most recent events on top of this section, and to 'comment out' items at the bottom of the section that become too old, by placing 'noincludes' before and after the text you want to prevent from showing up on the portal.
Historical perspective
This section should provide a clear and complete overview of the history of the portal theme. It is advisable to use headers to separate different periods or developments. Beware of providing too much detail, it is overview you should aim for here - in-depth information should be placed on encyclopedic wiki pages. When necessary create new wiki pages when you have relevant (!) information going beyond this portal overview! Remember, (a) the objective of a portal is disclosing the information elsewhere in this wiki, and (b) a portal should not contain any information not also present on encyclopedic pages in this wiki (with the possible exception of news items).
Policy practices compared
The text in this portal section should not just contain information about various policy fields in different countries or regions, it should primarily aim at providing the wiki reader with an overview of similarities and differences between these items. Do not leave it to the reader to make the comparisons! Make sure that more detailed information about countries, policy objectives, instruments etc. can be found on encyclopedic wiki pages this section links to - do not clutter this section with too much detail, but do make sure to provide the necessary (relevant!) detail elsewhere in this wiki!
TIP: Start out by arguing why you choose certain policy areas and certain countries/regions, why are these the most interesting, the most illustrative in the context of this portal theme?
Did you know...?
Did you know that...
- you are free to decide what information you put here?
- relevance of facts presented here enhances portal quality?
- usefulness of the info in this section is an important criterium?
- regularly updating this section keeps readers coming back (min.=weekly)? (TIP: use 'noincludes' to keep an archive of old DYKs!)
- this is the preferred list format for this section?
- every item should include a wikilink (preferably!) or external link (when required for referencing)?
- this section should also enable readers to enter further into this wiki? (Go easy on the external links, make sure to include enough internal wiki links!)
Institutions
The preferred wikitext format for this portal box is a list of wikilinks. Be careful when choosing the (spelling of) new wikititles, because the wiki title conventions need to be followed here! In researching both practice and theory connected to the portal theme, you will come across several organizations/institutions with a strong impact directly connected to the portal theme through research/advisory work, policy-making, stakeholders, executive agencies etc. The space of this box limits the length of the lists you can make, so make sure you include what is most relevant and leave out what is less interesting to the reader!
People
The preferred wikitext format for this portal box is a list of wikilinks. This implies that ideally, each person on this list should be described on an encyclopedic wiki page! Be careful when choosing the (spelling of) new wiki titles, because some conventions need to be followed here, especially where names of persons are concerned! In researching both practice and theory connected to the portal theme, you will come across various names which simply must be mentioned here in a 'most important people list'. The space of this box limits the length of the lists you can make, so make sure you include only the most relevant names and leave out those who are less interesting to the reader!
