=**Welcome to the Wiki for //Mystery Religions//!**=

This Wiki shares results of graduate research with students in Religious Studies or Philosophy. Our job here is to (1) enter the results of our research and give feedback to one another (2) write a final version of our research in language that can be understood by general readers (3) keep in mind the various levels of maturity in readers and the fact that we do not know them personally.

**Your assignment due each week is to:**
 * 1) Visit Wiki twice weekly and post comments or replies in one of the Discussion sections on two different days and in two different Discussions (5 points per week) - you can choose which page(s) you want to enter Discussion
 * 2) Develop **__ one unique Wiki page for each of our remaining (3) meetings __** by Thursday noon (10 points) before each meeting (see next)

**Your one Wiki page should:**
 * **Noon on July 1**: Propose a final project (introduction, thesis statement, list of readings you expect to cover)
 * **Noon on July 22:** Explain how your topic fits into the 3 phases (primal, emerging, consolidated), including a bubble chart (bubbl tool ) of your themes and a timeline : How does your topic morph, if at all, into another phase? Add imag es and video links to help explain your project topic
 * **Noon on August 5:** Final project text or art work ready for peer review and comments
 * Re-write your findings in a way that is useful for general reader and aware of varying levels of maturity

**Each Discussion post:**
 * Use a title that includes **your name** and goal for the thread (example: "Gina: What topic did you all propose?")
 * Add comments under an existing topic or discuss a Wiki page by another member of seminar
 * Suggest a topic for a shared communal page (where everyone can contribute)
 * Peer review another member's proposal or final project (identify yourself on their page)
 * Ask questions about your own Wiki pages (welcome any on-page comments by other members)
 * Be honest! [our Discussions will not be seen by the general readers after the seminar]
