Nervous+System+Wiki+Ashley+T

Click here to view this wiki! This was another group project where a group was given a subject that dealt with the nervous system and had to create a wiki on it. My group was given Parkinson's Disease. Parkinson's disease causes degeneration of the nervous system, and a person becomes disabled. Those who have Parkinson's Disease are characterized by shaking muscles, sluggish movements, and the unfortunate consequence of having this disease for life. The main goal in this project was to create a website that gave a description of the disease and its effects on the nervous system as well as make the site appealing with the use of many pictures. Our group did a great overview on Parkinson's, and then we went into the causes, symptoms, treatments, and prognosis. Although I was very happy with our work, I believe we could have added more pictures, since they only appeared at the beginning and the end of the wiki. However, I thought it was very clever that at the end, we added stories of celebrities with Parkinson's Disease, such as Micheal J. Fox and Muhammed Ali, in order to grab the interest of the reader. Overall, I was very pleased with the result. The site looked organized and interesting, and our information was accurate. Just by researching the disease myself, rather than taking notes, I felt like I learned much more because I would have to look up the information, then summarize what I learned into our wiki.
