Edits

Criteria for a Passing Grade
We are looking for changes in content to the wiki that significantly improve the clarity of the section being edited. The ideal edit demonstrates that you have achieved mastery of some aspect of the course content. At the very least, there should be a link between universal process control concepts and your edit. Minor edits that improve the wiki in some way (e.g., corrections of grammatical errors) are appreciated, but are not substantial enough to receive credit. Your edit will be judged based on its correctness, completeness, its relevance to the course content, and the amount of thought you put into the edit. Examples of edits that will receive credit include:

1)	Newly developed examples that clarify a topic

2)	New figures that aid understanding of a topic

3)	Significantly revised explanations that increase clarity of a topic (new ideas, not stylistic changes)

4)	Corrections that change the understanding of a topic

Edits that do not substantially change the content of the wiki will not receive credit. Examples of edits that will not receive credit include:

1)	Minor changes in style that do not change the content of the wiki

2)	Minor additions or corrections (less than the equivalent of a paragraph)

3)	Edits that are not relevant to the course content (e.g. a tutorial on how to format the axes of an Excel plot)

If your edit does not receive credit, you will have the opportunity to do more work to meet the above specifications and resubmit an edit for credit.

Examples
The following are examples of wiki edits that have significantly contributed to the content of the wiki and have received credit:

(1) Here is an example of a new subsection that "sets the bar" in terms of what is expected in an edit: Chi Squared vs. Fisher's Exact

(2) Here is a section that was added to the wiki with tips for using Mathematica: Additional Tips and Tricks for Troubleshooting in Mathematica

(3) Here is a summary that was added that nicely clarifies a concept: Incidence Graph Summary

(4) Here is an example that was added to exemplify a problem solving method: Hypergeometric Distribution Example

(5) Here is an example that nicely illustrates a concept: Conditional Probability Word Problem

(6) Here is a new subsection that was added to the wiki: Fisher's Exact

(7) Here is a new section that demonstrates implementation of a concept in Excel: MPC Implementation in Excel

(8) Here is a new section defining commonly used control architectures: Input and Output Control Systems

(9) Here is a new example problem that illustrates the concept of PID control: PID Example

(10) Here is a new section comparing open and closed loop control: Open vs. Closed loop

Note that these edits were chosen somewhat randomly as a sampling of edits that have improved the content of the wiki. These are not necessarily the best edits that have been made, but should give you a flavor of what the grader is expecting.
