Travel Wiki
At the end of the semester you have 3 culminating experiences that make up your "final exam": Your movie presentation, this travel wiki and your final journal/oral report. The wiki assignment, which is a written assignment that you will receive draft feedback on midway through the semester, will allow you complete control of the presentation of 1 element of your final exam.
