Log+Instructions

Log Instructions
This page describes how you should complete your log entries. Make sure to do so very carefully, working on your scientific writing and analysis.

=I. Formatting Guidelines:= 1. Create your log entry in Microsoft Word and then paste it onto your Wiki page after CHECKING THE SPELLING! 2. Make sure you write in scientific writing if instructed to do so, otherwise, you may write in first person. 3. Include the __date__ at the start of the log entry in this format: 3/5/2010 (in Heading 2)

II. Safety Considerations:
1. Please do not include any identifying information such as last names, school names, or addresses. 2. Do not link to your personal blog/journal from your mission log. You might reveal information on there that you don't want to reveal on your mission log. 3. If you want to write your opinion on a topic, make sure you're not going to be offensive to anyone as you write it. 4. Always make sure you check over your entry for spelling errors, grammar errors, and your use of words. 5. Never disrespect someone else in your log, whether it's a person, an organization, or just a general idea. You don't want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about so don't do it to someone else. 6. Don't write about other people without permission. If you can't get their permission, use first names only. Never share someone else's last name. 7. Watch your language! You're not at home. You are at school so use language that you would use while speaking in a classroom. 8. Make sure what you write about is factual. Don't post things that aren't true. 9. Keep it education-oriented. That means that you shouldn't discuss your plans for the weekend. :)
