The wiki will be central to this class. Your contributions to the wiki fall into the following sections:

• Personal wiki page
  • Each student will have a personal wiki page where they will publish their work.
  • Students are encouraged to view each others' pages, but not make changes other than to fix typos.
  • The "User" page that is created when you create a new account will serve as your personal wiki page
  • Consider putting your wikipage in a "Category" by adding [[Category:Biophysics 101]] somewhere in the text of the page. That way your page will be listed at Category:Biophysics 101.
• Project wiki page
  • Please feel free to start brainstorming project ideas at 101 Project Ideas
• Class notes page
  • Each class, at least a couple students will serve as scribes
  • Notes should be posted the same day of class
