Motivation

Overview
The study of motivation is concerned with understanding psychological processes that drive and direct behaviour. Psychologists study motivational forces to help understand and explain patterns and changes in individual human behaviour.

Key questions in the study of motivation include:
 * 1) Why do we do what we do?
 * 2) How can we change what we do?
 * 3) What causes behaviour? What starts, maintains, and stops behaviour?
 * 4) Why does behaviour vary in its intensity?

Motivational concepts serve several functions, including:
 * 1) helping to explain pathways between biology and behaviour
 * 2) accounting for behavioural variability
 * 3) making inferences about private states from public acts
 * 4) assigning responsibility for actions, and
 * 5) explaining perseverance despite adversity.

Understanding motivation is also important for understanding individual differences more generally. According to motivational theorists, motivation and emotion together govern human behaviour. Much empirical attention has been given to determining different aspects, or factors, of motivation.

What is motivation?

If you asked different people "What is motivation?" what sorts of responses do you think you'd get? Most lay people probably think of motivation as a personal quality which gives you energy and direction to get things done. Some people are highly motivated. Many are somewhat motivated. Some people are particularly unmotivated.

The psychological understanding of motivation is similar to lay understandings, but goes further and deeper. Motivation refers to processes involved in initiating, maintaining and ceasing goal-orientated behaviour. Motivation is about why we do things. Motivational psychology understandings behaviour as effort to satisfy physiological, psychological, and social needs and goals. Furthermore, motivational psychology seeks to use motivational concepts to account for variations in the intensity of behaviour between situations, species and individuals.

Thus, two perennial motivational questions are (Reeve, 2009):
 * 1) Why do organisms behave the way they do? (What motivates behaviour?) and
 * 2) Why does the intensity of behaviour vary (between situations, species, and individuals)?

Motivation is a theoretical psychological construct about:
 * 1) that which moves one into action (Deckers, 2005 );
 * 2) the force within individuals that energises, maintains and controls their behaviour (Westen, Burton, & Kowalski, 2006);
 * 3) that which arouses, directs, and causes persistence of behaviour;
 * 4) “the driving force behind behaviour that leads us to pursue some things and avoid others” (Westen et al., 2006 );
 * 5) goal-directed behaviour (desire to achieve an objective, combined with the energy to work towards that goal).

Four aspects of motivation are suggested by Hattie et al. (2020)
 * 1) self
 * 2) social
 * 3) cognitive
 * 4) task values

These areas of motivation help to identify internal and external factors that help an individual achieve a desired behaviour.

"Motivation is the art of stimulating someone or oneself to get a desired course, to push the right button to get the desired course of action." - Michael J. Jucius
 * Definitions by renowned people

"Motivation is a general term applying to the entire class of drives, desires, needs and wishes and other similar forces that induce an individual or a group of people to work." - Koontz and O'Donnell

Questions about motivation
Here are some scenarios or questions which motivational psychology could help to understand and explain. Feel free to add questions or theories of your own:
 * 1) Why do some people try to climb Mount Everest or cross the Atlantic in a balloon? (See sensation-seeking?)
 * 2) Why are some people obsessed with gambling while others rarely if ever place a bet? (See risk taking)
 * 3) Why do most of us (or all of us?) fall in love? (See social motivation)
 * 4) Why are some people heterosexual, some bisexual, and some homosexual? (See sexual motivation)
 * 5) Why do some people attend university? (See educational motivation)
 * 6) Why do some strive so hard at work whilst others seem to be motivated to work as little as possible? (See achievement motivation)
 * 7) Why do some people volunteer to help others, seemingly without reward? (See volunteer motivation)

Importance of motivation

 * 1) Guarantees high level of efficiency
 * 2) Overcomes the resistance to change
 * 3) Builds cordial human relations
 * 4) Creates willingness to do work
 * 5) Creates sound corporate image
 * 6) Attracts talented, skilled and promising employees
 * 7) Helps to realize organizational objectives
 * 8) Improves and boosts employee morale
 * 9) Inculcates a feeling of belongingness among employees

Motivation themes

 * Motives direct attention
 * Motives are intervening variables
 * Motivation benefits adaptation
 * Motive strengths vary over time and influence the stream of behaviour
 * Types of motivation exist
 * We are not always consciously aware of motives
 * Motivation study reveals what people want
 * To flourish, motivation needs supportive conditions
 * When motivating others what is easy rarely works
 * There is nothing so practical as a good theory

WIKIVERSITY VOTING
The Wikiversity vote has finished. What now? (Alex beta 17:28, 1 November 2005 (UTC))

Discussions
Please make sure to follow the current format of this page to keep it organized. Please sign the board with a screen name or some method of contact information. --Destrogal 14:51, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Deductivism
Is anyone going to be posting anything on Karl Popper or J.L. Austin, primarily regarding Popper Selections and/or Sense and Sensibilia, respectively? I think it'd be nice to get some good deductivist philosophy in here.

On a side note, I'd be willing to write something on Induction (possibly Hume vs. Russell vs. Popper), and probably (if I can re-scan some notes) the "criteria of falsifiability". Sound like a plan? --Jjlongoria 2:01, 11 Feb 2006

Notice
I noticed that someone has started using the department's main page as a sort of message board. Yes, we need a message board, or maybe more than one, but, no, it shouldn't be done on the main page. So please use this space to say hello and what to say how you can contribute to and gain from the Wikiversity philosophy department. Perhaps eventually the technical people will get some kind of proper message board software installed. You can also ask questions about philosophy if you must, but please make a bit of effort to do your own research using Wikipedia and a search engine first.

Courses vs Text books
Hey team. I think that the reason many people find it overwhelming to write courses, is that they are writing text books. Rather than writing everything there is to know about a particular topic, try splitting each area into 10 (or however many) parts, each with its own focus and developement. Write a brief introduction on what the problem is, give a few answers from various philosophers (perhaps supported by a few quotes), then give suggested short answer/essay questions. If you have the time, add some links for the student for the student to investigate various solutions themselves. --Abc123 06:38, Jun 29, 2005 (UTC)

Intro
I think this is a very good idea. I hope this concept takes off. Ereinion 01:26, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Courses
I greatly admire how the courses are structured in the School of Mathematics, so I have been thinking about the courses here and I believe that we could group them into different categories. For example: And so on. Please let me know what you think. (Alex beta 21:31, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC))
 * Analytical philosophy
 * Logic
 * Philosophy of Language
 * Philosophy of Mind, etc.
 * The history of Philosophy
 * The history of Ancient Philosophy
 * The history of Medieval Philosophy
 * Eastern Philosophy, etc.
 * Individual philosophers
 * Plato
 * Hume
 * Hegel, etc.

Re:Courses
This is a great idea, I'm currently studying philosophy at undergraduate level, and I'm hoping to do some work on the courses here over summer. Talking about the way the courses should be structured, I think you should probably include a History of Modern Philosophy (Descartes through Kant), 19th Century Philosophy (German Idealism primarily), and 20th Century Philosophy (which will have to be a brief run through of different trends). There should probably be some general grouping of topics in Continential Philosophy, or though such is very difficult owing to its diversity, but even if there were just something like a introduction to different movements that would do (e.g. Phenomenology, Hermeneutics, Structuralism, Post-structuralism, Transcendental Empiricism, etc.). --Killed-the-Cat 10:18, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree completely. However, I think it would probably be better not to include the title of courses if we are then going to leave them empty. I am quite annoyed when I walk into one of the schools and find exciting titles for empty courses. (Alex beta 11:13, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC))
 * This is a very good point, perhaps we should have a planned courses page that is separate from the actual courses? --Killed-the-Cat 09:38, Jun 29, 2005 (UTC)

More on courses
We should probably write courses on individual philosophers (for example "Wikiversity:Plato", or "Wikiversity:Hegel") which could be linked directly from the courses page and from the different histories of philosophy. This way, you would be able to study a particular author you are interested in, and the course could also be reached at the right time throught the study of the history of philosophy. Perhaps we should move pages like "Wikiversity:The_Ancient_Greeks:The_Milesians:Thales" to pages like "Wikiversity:Thales". After all, I doubt there will be any other pages on Thales in the Wikiversity. Please let me know what you think about this. (Alex beta 20:50, 17 July 2005 (UTC))
 * I would rather see the current courses bulked out before embarking on others. I think we should focus on building things up in each course, so that our credibility is improved.
 * I agree wholeheartedly. I was not suggesting that we should start writing new courses on individual philosophers now. I was just saying that I believe that the modules on individual philosophers should be named "Wikiversity:Author's name".(Alex beta 10:59, 25 July 2005 (UTC))
 * I fixed this issue see the Ancient Greek Philosophy Discussion Page --Destrogal 14:51, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Over Speculation
I worry about two things, over-specialisation of the courses and an overemphasis on factual learning. I think we should create courses that 1) ask students questions and grab their interests, and lead them to other source on the internet and print. And 2), when students ask questions, to harbour a supportive environment for growth. Remember that each of these sections have been covered over and over on the internet (and print sources). I see the role of Wikiversity and the School of Philosophy to open people's eyes to those sources. We don't need to spend hours reproducing information that is already available. Abc123.

 * I hope this does not come accross as an attack, because it is really not meant to be. I mean it as a way to relieve us of the burdon of a gigantic workload. Make sense? Abc123.

Question
I’m relatively new to philosophy (as well as wiki-anything), and I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was wondering about the comment posted on the introductory page,

“When I talk about Pegasus, what I am saying is clearly false, yet no one will assert that Pegasus cannot fly. That is because Pegasus can fly. That means that when we say "Pegasus flies", we have said something that is both true and false. What's up with that?”

I guess I don’t understand this. How is it that when you talk about Pegasus, what ever you say is false? If I were to say “Pegasus is a flying horse”, it would, in fact, be clearly true. Also, how is “Pegasus Flies” false at all? --Fyügo

 * You are probably right about this not being the right place to post this kind of question. However, there is still nowhere to post questions like this in the school of philosophy, so... here goes:
 * The question of truth and falsity depends on the theory that you are defending. I assume that the text you are quoting means something like this: anything you say about Pegasus is false because pegasus does not exist. "Pegasus is a flying horse" seems to imply that such a flying horse exists (in a naïve theory of language, perhaps).
 * I would suggest that you read the following articles on the subject (if you have not already done so): Bertrand Russell's "On Denoting" and Quine's "On what there is". (Alex beta 21:34, 27 July 2005 (UTC))

 * Excellent question. Thanks for pointing out how badly I got the point accross. I will answer your second question first. Try reading my reworded comment. It should help explain how "Pegasus flies" can be false.

 * When I talk about Pegasus, I talk about an object that does not exist. This means, nothing that can be said about Pegasus which is true, because there is no Pegasus to make sentences true. i.e. For "Pegasus flies" to be true, there should be a winged horse named Pegasus that flies. Therefore what I am saying is false. Yet there is a sense in which we all understand "Pegasus flies" to be true. No one will assert that Pegasus cannot fly. That means that when we say "Pegasus flies", we have said something that is both true and false. What's up with that?

 * To answer your first question, "How is it that when you talk about Pegasus, what ever you say is false?"

 * There is no such thing as Pegasus to make sentences true. In other circumstances, when we say, "There is a computer before in front of me", what makes this true is the computer that is in front of me. There are many philosophical issues here, as we can be as abstract, convoluted and nit-picky as we want. The keyboard, for example, is actually under part of me. And, in my case, my actual computer is below me and to the side (now that I think about it). The only thing that can actually be said to be in front of me is my monitor. Yet, I still consider "There is a computer before my very eyes" to be true.

 * To go back to Pegasus, think about what it means to say that "Pegasus flies" is true. Why is that statement true? Presumeably, because we made it true, by creating a myth with a mystical winged horse named 'Pegasus'. Now, that means truth depends on what we think, rather than the way the world is in reality. It also means that, as you you say "Pegasus cannot fly" (and believe it), you are saying something also true. Then, it is true that Pegasus both can, and cannot fly. Hope that helps. --Abc123 21:07, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

 * Alright, here's the real point to my question. Both of you said that Pegasus does not exist. But Pegasus does exist. It isn't possible to make any statements at all about something that doesn't exist, because if it truly did not exist you would have no knowledge of it. It is true that Pegasus doesn't exist in the physical world as an animal of flesh and blood, but Pegasus does exist in literature, movies, and our imagination.

 * And to Abc123's point, when I say "Pegasus", I'm referring to a specific concept of a flying horse that somebody created as a myth. It is part of Pegasus' nature to be able to fly. If someone were to believe that "Pegasus cannot fly", they've created an entirely new Pegasus, separate from the original, meaning the truth of the statement "Pegasus can fly" depends on which Pegasus it is referring to.

 * Also, it would be possible to make a message board, on proboards.com, for example. --Fyügo

 * Just to be terribly nit-picky, as Pegasus is a rocket which does launch from the wing of another airplane, it does exist. Yet, there is some degree to which that is also a false statement, particularly when one adopts the Eastern view that there is no reality only that which we call 'reality.'-Nathan Eckenrode

Need a new head

Wikilife
i'm sorry for comming onto your page and editing it you can delete this once your through reading it or I will once you respond but I didn't know how else to contact you. In your bio you mentioned you were thinking about adding a "course" that you said you would run here could you explain how you run a course on wiki or how you attend one. I'm just a little conused

thanks alot and sorry again Wikilife

Wikibooks
Actually the page was imported from Wikibooks for good. But I think the following Wikibooks users would still be interested in conversation. So, if you like contact them on Wikibooks and invite them here, ok ? Erkan Yilmaz ( my talk page, wiki blog ) 10:07, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

publunch
Well, my nick is publunch and my home page is here. I studied philosophy at The Open University, and at Birkbeck College which is part of the University of London, and at the University of Sussex, all based in England. The Open University pioneered 'distance learning', and I found that worked for me. Birkbeck College is a college specialising in part-time and evening education, while the University of Sussex is a more conventional university. I think I can get quite enthusiastic about the Wikiversity as a new venture bringing learning to places it would not otherwise reach, pioneering in the same kind of way as The Open University has done.

After leaving Sussex University, I had a nervous breakdown from which I have not yet fully recovered, and perhaps helping make Wikiversity happen will help me regain some kind of confidence. As nobody expects me to do paid work at the moment, I may have time to help make Wikiversity happen.

I think I can help at a junior faculty sort of level in making courses in logic and philosophy of mind happen, but I know I can't do all the work myself.

Alex_beta
My name is Alex beta, and I write things every once in a while at Logic, Philosophy and other Musings. I am afraid I know very little about Wikimedia projects, but I can hopefully contribute to the contents in the School of Philosophy and the School of Physics. (Alex beta 19:11, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC))

John Doyle
Hello. I am John Doyle, and have an interest in Bioethics. I invite contributions to the Bioethics section. By way of background, I am an academic anesthesiologist. In 2004 I received a graduate certificate in bioethics from Cleveland State University. For more information visit [this page].

Tim McNamara
Howdy, I am an Honours student at Victoria University of Wellington. . I am more than happy to attempt to answer any questions, or lead people in the right direction. I hope to add content in the coming months, but at the moment I am trying to tidy the Philosophy School up, and making it navicable. Cheers! --Abc123 12:10, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Killedthecat
Hello to all in wikiland, I'm new to the wiki experience, but I do think that this is a great idea, and I have a passion for philosophy, particularly the later Wittgenstein and a smattering of Continental thinkers (Derrida, Deleuze and Heidegger being my current favorites). I'm currently studying philosophy at undergraduate level, and I will try to impart some of what I have learned so far over the coming months.

Lucidish
Greets, wiksters. I started out as an artist and sci-fi writer, and didn't come into philosophy until I had read Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. Something in it lit a fire under my butt. Now I'm an undergrad at the University of Western Ontario, almost finished an honors BA. Afterwards I plan to go into journalism.

Timothy J Scriven
Hey. I am 17 years old and hence have no formal degrees. Nevertheless Philosophy is a subject which has consumed most of my spare time for the last four years now. I am going to construct a broad readings course based on "The classics" ( the critique of pure reason, the blue and brown books etc). I also plan to create a philosophy of mind and a philosophy of religion course. I also "work" at the department of liteature where I've created a course on T.S Eliot. When I get a bit of time I plan to do a "Philosophy and poetry" course which I will run at both the English department and here. I believe Wikiversity is important for a simple reason, knowledge is the death of tyranny.

Michael Molitor
Hey, Wikipedians! My name's Michael. Like the nifty guy above me I'm 17 years old and therefore have nothing with which to prove my credibility to all of you wonderful people involved here. My username is TheoryWIZ (I also enjoy music theory, if you couldn't extrapolate that one), and I'm pretty new to Wikipedia in general, so please forgive me if I need some help starting out. Although in about four days I will officially have course credits worth half a semester for a philosophy class I am enrolled in and currently hold an A- average (wish me luck on my final). I guess it must be weird to have a high school student in a philosophy class but my school provides it, so I jumped on the opportunity as soon as I could. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to helping build this project with all of you. Unfortunately, my free time is extremely limited as a junior involved in APs and theatre (technical crew) among other things, so my contributions may be a bit limited until I can get back on solid ground. I would really like to work specifically in the fields of free will and Existentialism, for I was really moved by my studies of those topics. I was also thinking about a philosophy in music course, which is something that both my teacher and I feel is overlooked at times. Anyway I look forward to working with you all!

Spock of Vulcan
Hi! I'm Spock of Vulcan. I have a B.C.Sc. (Bachelor of Computer Science), with a minor in philosophy. Ethics is the area of philosophy with which I have the most experience. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. I stop by every day so I'll always respond! :) Spock of Vulcan 23:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Exercise
Only "basic" (highschool) math is needed, so this exercise is suitable for many. The result is very interesting, so even if you don't care about the math you can still check it out just to see the conclusion. I have posted a solution just in case somebody gets stuck somewhere.

Thought-Experimental Principles of Relativity

0. Introduction and Goal

In his considerations concerning simultaneity, Albert Einstein indicated and employed certain very basic abilities of each individual observer, and relations between observers:
 * that one may perceive and distinguish various signals,
 * that, given one's observations of any two distinct signals, one may judge whether one perceived these two signals together ("coincidently"), or separately ("first" vs. "afterwards"),
 * that one may distinguish and consistently recognize others by their signals, which one observed,
 * that one's signals may in turn be observable and recognizable to others, and
 * that one may recognize a signal as someone else's response ("echo") to an own signal.

These abilities and relations may not be readily exhibited in every practical instance and circumstance. However, being asserted, they may be taken as equally and unambiguously comprehensable. For example (cmp. section (3.)), one cannot even consider the problem of how two observers might come to an agreement on which, if any, of their observations had been "simultaneous" to each other, without thereby already admitting an understanding of the fundamental abilities and relations listed above. The mutual assumption of these observational abilities and experimental relations, even if it presents only an idealization, is consequently also uniquely suited as a starting point towards solving this and related problems.

The descriptions to characterize relations between observers, and first of all, how mutual agreement (measurement) may be reached between those involved, give rise to a great variety of relativistic thought experiments; concerning notably (in historic order)

 * how to measure "simultaneity" (as already indicated by Einstein; that is, requiring or assuming the measurement that "curvature" had been negligible, and a procedure to agree on which clock parametrizations are "good"),

 * how to measure "distance" and "curvature" (by John L. Synge, as "Chronogeometry"; that is, requiring or assuming a procedure to agree on which clock parametrizations are "good"),

 * how to measure whether two observers had "moved parallel" to each other (by Alfred Schild, known as "Schild's Ladder"; that is, assuming or requiring a procedure to decide whether or not a certain auxiliary observers had been "free", and which clock parametrizations are "good" at least for such "free" auxiliaries),

 * how to decide which clock parametrizations of a "free" observer are "good" (by Robert F. Marzke and John Archibald Wheeler; assuming or requiring all procedures employed for "Schild's Ladder"),

 * how to decide whether a given observer had been "free" (by Udo Schelb; assuming or requiring procedures to distinguish "opposite directions").

The goal of this course is to review and motivate the observer abilities which are to be assumed, and strictly on their basis to present the relativistic thought experiments in a systematic development.

As its title indicates, this is a course in experimental physics (evidently concerning its foundational aspects, rather than accounts of specific obtained values). Starting from what any one observer can assert individually, procedures are sought and derived on how several observers may reach mutual agreement on their relations with each other.

Particular attention is naturally given to providing a thought-experimental definition to the notion of "opposite directions"; or more directly concerning observers, and in association with Einstein's usage: to the identification of which one, if any, had constituted a "middle between" certain given observers. The sequence of thought-experimental definitions which are obtained includes further

 * how to characterize a suitable system of observers by their "curvature"; and in particular, to decide whether, or to which accuracy, two observers had been "local" to each other,

 * how to decide whether, or to which accuracy, a given observer was "free" (or synonymously: "inertial", or in the context of measured curvature: "geodetic") among a suitable system of auxiliary observers,

 * how to characterize suitable systems of observers through geometric quantities such as "distance", "direction", "speed", and so on; especially

 * how to measure whether several observers belonged together to an "inertial frame"; and eventually

 * how to determine the geometric distribution of "mass/energy", "momentum" or "stress" among a suitable system of auxiliary observers.

The student (who can of course be presumed to possess and therefore to understand the indicated fundamental observer abilities as well, at least in principle) will thereby be prepared to encounter the indicated notions where they appear without consideration for a definition in terms that are accessible to observers.

The systematic development of thought-experimental definitions also lends itself to recognizing relations between measured quantities that arise by definition (for instance: the equality of light speed in regions of equal refractive index, the effects of "Time dilation", and "Pericenter advance"), and to distinguish them from relations that are subject to experimental test (such as correspondingly, whether two regions had equal refractive index, whether two twins were aging at equal proper rates, or whether, or to which accuracy, someone moved freely in some particular region and whether, or to which accuracy, observers in this region would find their curvature compatible with the Schwarzschild metric).

In emphasizing these distinctions, and in demonstrating overall that relativity provides definitions for how to measure geometric relations in principle, based on abilities which are unambiguous for everyone involved and which are justified from the outset, this course aims to teach the larger lesson that any measured values which may thereby be obtained are incapable of providing in turn tests (or possibly even falsifications) of these underlying assumptions and definitions.

Lunar Boom Town/Boarding Habitat

This habitat rents short term and long term living volume to lunar workers and lunar settlers during their work shifts or initial arrival. Many workers and settlers may not wish to establish a private residence, preferring to depend upon our lunar housing specialists to assist them with their personal living arrangements.

Products and Services: Various size and privelege rooms. Hourly air rates, pay for what is used. Meals, pay for those consumed. Brown bag meals to carry to work. Laundry

This habitat has many of the same requirements, needs, capabilities and services of the Lunar tourist hotel but is more utilitarian in space and services available and thus more cost efficient.

Possibly Applicable Information Resources
"Lunar Base Development Issues and Models

Prototyping and analysis using available earth assets.

Useful tasks necessary to project startup cashflow requirements
Simulate a lunar landing from scratch to setup the first cabin space for rent to wealthy adventurous tourists. Possible approach below or devise your own or fork this one and tailor it to your satisfaction. Remember, first cuts do not need to be perfect. This is a wiki and we will collaboratively merge the best and rest is archived for us automatically in the history log.

Caution In an engineering simulation or role playing game it is necessary to avoid risks. Particularly potentially fatal risks. Never place any airtight material including plastic around the head or face. This can impair breathing and will be fatal. Keep plastic and airtight bags out of the hands of small children and supervise others adequately to avoid problems.

Draft Procedure
Use two hiking tents, set one up in backyard. Load it up with the second tent and a simulated space suit (layers of fabric meeting simulated requirements, plastic for airtight, tight cotton/wool etc. for comfortable internal pressure liners, gloves, etc.) load small lightweight bag kits for everything you need to complete the mission -- medical kits, MREs(or bagged meals), coke bottles(oxygen), radio communicator (wireless to overhead satellite?), lights, heaters, radiators, etc.

 * Go through the mission plan step by step estimating time required to deploy the second tent and equip it as an initial rental/science base.
 * Estimate the total mass of payload too be delivered to the moon.

Remember, we are only setting up the office cabin and the rental cabin. We are contracting with Lunar Boom Town/Cargo Imports for cargo delivery to specified locations.

Template talk:EE BASE classnav

BEFORE USING THIS TEMPLATE
copy this to address bar http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Template:EE_NUMBERHERE_CLASSNAMEHERE_classnav&action=edit
 * change the NUMBERHERE to the class number   ie  EE111 would be _111_
 * change the CLASSNAMEHERE to the class name

as there will likely be more than 1 analog electronics class. the same for "Final Exam" vr "EE_???_ClassNameHere/Final Exam". see Template_talk:EE_BASE_classnav for instructions
 * COPY the code in the box below to that new template
 * the link style for lectures is most desirable as it prevents pages from overlapping
 * Don't just make a ambiguous class page or lecture page such as "Analog electronics" insted alwase use "EE_113_Analog electronics"

Then edit that page adding the relevant links in using the info below to help you. Eadthem 06:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

HOW TO USE
all classes for the digital electronics section can now use a common template for headers footers and the main page for headers for footers  Eadthem 06:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Usage of this template
i will describe the parts you can edit  everything else must remain static <includeonly> </includeonly> only use includeonly tags to define what code shows up when a template is called.

Talk:Web architecture for Wikis

Impacts on Operational Servers
Will this activity be focused on page content, server architectures, both? Do the experiments conducted in this activity have any chance of negative impact on Wikiversity's operational servers? Will potentially negative experiments be put off until the Wikiversity sandbox server becomes available? Mirwin 06:51, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Mirwin: I have created this template Template:WAWtranscluder for facilitating the discussion of pages in Wikiversity; you can see it in action here: Web_architecture_for_Wikis/ToolSandbox. The objective is more to create a space for the discussion of architectural issues -- so, to answer your question: page content. I don't forsee any negative consequences. Not to mention that things are pretty quiet around here lately :-) Countrymike 07:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

 * This kind of interesting. If I understand what you are doing we could use your template to have meta discussions about how to improve a page for a specific target age group without that age group seeing the discussion on the actual page?  For example:  If in Lunar Boom Town safety engineers and responsible adults wanted to discuss how to revise a page encouraging recycling to discourage unsafe dumpster diving we could use this template and it would not be obvious to casual reader of the actual page or discussion page of the actual page?  Mirwin 22:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Mirwin: yes, i suppose you could use it for that. I'm quite fascinated by your project I just can't quite see a way in as of yet, but am keen to talk and explore some more. Using a space like this for simulation is right up my alley, seeing as I suck in second life because theres not enough text. Countrymike 05:38, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

User talk:KRIST~enwikiversity

Hello KRIST,

I have seen your post here. I didn't get too much of the meaning - would you be so helpful and explain what this is for ? I have visited the first site, but it has nothing to do with Wikiversity.

I think it would be better to present the info on your user page. But please, do not do too much advertisement. After that you could remove the other edit ? Also could help to view What is Wikiversity?. Below you will find more info. If you want, come into IRC and we can communicate live. See you, Erkan Yilmaz ( my talk page, wiki blog ) 18:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called KRIST. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name KRIST~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:12, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Bloom Clock/Class Projects

The Bloom Clock is a participatory research project with the goal of collecting bloom time data for the plants found in any particular region of the world. Participation is easy: it's just a matter of adding * to record a plant you've seen blooming today.

The Bloom Clock can also be used for class projects in schools and universities. While especially valuable for institutions with horticultural and agricultural programs, it can also be used as an assignment for ecology and botany classes.

Students may log flowers on the bloom clock, and a record of their logs will automatically be kept by the Wikimedia software. These records are freely available to any instructor who wants to review them personally, or perhaps the records could be looked over by other students and bloom clock contributors.

An example assignment would be to simply ask students to log 10 plants per week (this would entail perhaps 1/2 hour of looking around for flowers, and about 10 minutes logging, assuming they have access to a broadband connection). More advanced assignments might involve adding identification data or even constructing dichotomous keys using other features in Wikiversity's software.

If you are an instructor interested in using the bloom clock as part of your curriculum, please just sign below using an asterisk and 4 tildes ( * ), or ask a question on the talk page.

User:Erkan Yilmaz/observations/2007 October

observations from Erkan Yilmaz for 2007 October

You are invited to add your comments (e.g. but my perception of this issue is different) - please sign anything you add (howto Signature).

2007 October 31 - discussion about criteria for an account to have bot flag at de.WV

 * At the moment we are discussing here about above topic. The bot operators were all invited to take part.

2007 October 30 - new de.WV chat users

 * two new faces in the de.WV chat
 * The de.WV chat #wikiversity-de is often only visited by the usual people. Today a new WV-member followed the invitation and we had a longer chat. This week also another user joined. Let's see if they stay around :-)

edit 2011-10-21:
 * de.WV chat never got much interaction, perhaps mentality of German?
 * en.WV more frequent users, though since the "incidents" people left also here :-(

2007 October 22 - German Wikiversity has voted its slogan

 * winning slogan: Lernen und Lehren (english: learning and teaching)
 * The German Wikiversity has voted after over 6 months of discussion and votes its slogan. It is Lernen und Lehren (english: learning and teaching). More information available here

edit 2011-10-21:
 * see
 * and right now I think: slogans or so are fine, but actions of people show the real face of a wiki

2007 October 17 - el.Wikiversity: Conditionally approved

 * el.Wikiversity: Conditionally approved

edit 2011-10-21:
 * I think it's great that since back then many more WVs were created
 * beta Wikiversity should get more attention
 * somehow never people from individual/existing WVs got more activity there though they really could help + multiply the efforts by help
 * also they would learn from this by the questions/problems others have

2007 October 14 - Wikimedian Demographics & reactivating users again & helping at es.WV & use your vote

 * Wikimedian Demographics:
 * I also set up the Survey responses page. I am interested how this will evolve, since we are at the begin of this project. You have opinions ? State them at: Talk:Wikimedian Demographics

 * trying to activate not contributing users again:
 * My assumption is following: If users replied back on the welcome message this might show they are really willing to contribute to this project. But due to different (internal or external) reasons some stopped contributing. So, I scrolled through my talk page and wanted to check their contributions. Since there is established already from back then a connection here in this project there might be a chance to motivate them again to participate here.
 * Unfortunately few of them have activated their emails, because I assume with email they could be reached faster. So a message on their talk pages was written. Let's see what the reaction will be.
 * edit 2007-10-17: so far more replies by German Wikiversity users. They have also mainly email activated :-)

 * Helping at Spanish Wikiversity:
 * Actually it is not so hard to help other wikiversity projects - you just have to know the tools which can help you. I do not speak Spanish, but was asked by a user in IRC and could help him in several cases - with using an online Spanish to English translation service.

 * use your vote for this feature: Support global (crosswiki) blocking

edit 2011-10-21:
 * I remember the times when I welcomed too many
 * welcoming should be done by bots + if humans welcome then after reviewing edits + guiding perhaps like mentors

2007 October 11 - de.WB + chess

 * Thanks to the German Wikibooks channel I have started playing chess again. Thanks for the nice games: T., S., h. To great games in the future.

2007 October 6 - intelligent bots & import work from other wikimedia projects (which gets deleted)

 * Perhaps someone can create or knows a bot which identifies such comments as not appropriate in Wikipedia ? And then we would not need another edit by the SineBot at all.

 * Normally when I see copy + paste of Wikipedia I write a comment to the author (see e.g. What Wikiversity is not, section: "A duplication of other Wikimedia projects"). But today I have seen for the first time something different. JWSchmidt has "rescued" this page to Wikiversity. While chating with him I got to know this project: Wikimedia Garbage Detail - great idea and probably one of the means to achieve the mission of Wikiversity.
 * edit 2013-12-11:
 * unfortunately this page (talk) I was mentioning as an example from external got deleted :-(

edit 2011-10-21:
 * my perspective on deletion definitely changed over time
 * see Learning from conflict and incivility/Erkan Yilmaz for when I was the top deleter over all WVs

2007 October 4 - immediate bot fix

 * I love the IRC wiki system: I tell someone a problem and 8 minutes later the problem gets fixed. Thanks again for all the help with the bot in the past (and for the future)

2007 October 3 - #wikiversity-it

 * Today I had in #wikiversity-it for the first time a longer conversation - thanks for the nice chat.

2007 October 1 - try the good old lynx

 * browser problems ? try it with the good old lynx:
 * We talked about which browser is good (for e.g. working with wiki). And I mentioned just as joke lynx and after trying: I must say it works. But it is not so comfortable as a "normal" browser. :-)

edit 2011-10-12:
 * lynx not much used for wiki editing, though with the presence of mobiles nowadays GUI layout of wikis need to be rethought

Glossary of geology terms

Glossary of Geology Terms
When inserting a new term please add it to the bottom of our system of Flashcards for Geology Terms for inclusion at the next editor's discretion. Thank you!

Aphanitic – refers to the texture of igneous rocks when you can’t distinguish individual minerals unless you use a microscope then it is said to have an aphanitic texture. (H. Redoble)

Asthenosphere - the layer of the mantle that lies directly below the lithosphere. (A.Senos)

Carbonate - minerals that contain the carbonate anion ((CO3)2-), some of the most common include aragonite, calcite and magnesite. (A. Senos)

Cleavage - When a mineral is broken, cleavage is shown by the pattern in which it breaks along crystallographic planes. If it does not follow these planes then it is considered a fracture. (T. Bakic)

Continental volcanic arch - mountain ranges produced by igneous activity due to the subduction of the ocean's lithosphere.

Curie Point - The temperature a substance reaches when its magnetism is lost. (J.Mellum)

Geology - the study of the earth. Physical Geology includes processes that affect the earth's internal and external structure, composition and other natural functions. Historical Geology is the study of Earth history and the evolution of life on earth - especially the past life forms that are preserved as fossils. (J.Wittstrom)

Erosion - The transportation of material by a mobile agent, i.e., water, wind or ice.(C Simoneau)

Evaporite - Sedimentary rocks made up of minerals that are deposited from the precipitation of evaporated seawater. (M. MacFadzen)

Fracture - when a mineral breaks and does not cleave the mineral fractures. Fractures can be irregular, curved, jagged or splintery. Quartz actually has a conchoidal fracture which is dish shaped. (H. Redoble)

Halide - a binary compound constructed of two parts, one halogen atom and one element or radical that has a electronegative value less than the halogen. (Q.Janmohamed)

Hardness - A property of a mineral. Its tolerance or resistance to scratching or abrasion. This is measured by the Moh's scale. (Christine Simoneau)

Harry Hess - In the 1960s Hess developed the theory that the seafloor is spreading. This theory was based on the discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, proving that the upwelling of magma breaking through the mantle is pushing the seafloor from the ridge crest.(J.Howley)

Hot Spot- A stationary mantle plume which will form a series of volcanoes or sea mountains as the earth's crust moves over it. (M.Laery)

Lithosphere - located above the asthenosphere, the lithosphere consists of the outer layer of earth’s crust and upper mantle. The lithosphere also contains the Moho boundary. (H.Redoble)

Lustre- the reflective quality of light on the freshly broken surface of a mineral. The main divisions of lustre are metallic and non-metallic. (M. MacFadzen)

Magma - A body of molten rock found at depth. (C Simoneau)

Magnetometer - Am instrument used for measuring a magnetic field's magnitude and direction. (T. Bakic)

Moho boundary - Formally called the Mohorovičić discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle.

Native Element - occurs in nature and is not part of a compound. Examples are gold and silver. (J. Mellum)

Paleomagnetism - Refers to the study of the magnetic properties of rocks and minerals. This demonstrates to us that both the strength and direction of Earths magnetic field is not constant. Each rock and mineral tells its own story at a particular moment in time. (A. Atwal)

Pegmatite - A very coarse grained igneous rock like granite; commonly associated with large masses of plutonic rock. (M. MacFadzen)

Spreading Ridge - an elevated region where new crust material is being formed and where older crust moves away from the ridge. (B.Qaderi)

Volcanic Island Arcs - When either oceanic crust subducts under oceanic crust (oceanic arc) or continental crust subducts under continental crust (continental arc). (Q.Janmohamed)

Xenolith - fragments of country rock (detatched by stoping) that sink into the magma. They are not fully absorbed by the magma and so remain as a mass. Some can be seen in igneous rocks.

yea

If you want to participate at Wikiversity, please create an account and log in Due to, editing by anonymous users from your school, library or institution's IP address  currently disabled. If you are logged in but still unable to edit, please follow these instructions. To prevent abuse, account creation via this IP address is probably also disabled. If accounts need to be created at school for class projects, please have your teacher or network administrator contact us (with reference to this IP address) at [mailto:unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org unblock-en-l] from an email address listed on your school's website. Alternatively, if you have no Internet access at home, you may [mailto:unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org email us] using your school-issued email address, telling us your preferred username. An account will be created for you. Please check on this list that the username you choose has not already been taken. Thank you.

Usage: {{schoolblock|comments (optional)|sig= ~ (optional)}}

Recommendations: Do not subst: this template as contact details may change in the future. This template was designed especially for use as a block reason as readers frequently attempt to email us before they even read their IP address's talk page.

You are encouraged to use this template as a blocking reason whenever you are blocking a shared educational IP. For blocks shorter than 3 months, it is recommended that you do not duplicate this notice on a blocked IP's talk page and instead use other user block templates to provide immediate notification to the vandal of the block. As this template is rather large, its preferable that we do not have it displayed multiple times simultaneously for each talk page.

Important: Only use sig= ~ if you wish to sign the default blocking notice when used on a talk page. Remember that signatures are not substituted in the block reason field.

To remove at home from the login instructions, use {{schoolblock|home=no}} or {{schoolblock|comments|home=no}}.

Attention:

This, is registered to  and may be shared by multiple users. In the case of institutions using proxy servers, this IP address may in fact represent many users at many physical computers.

For this reason a message intended for one person may be received by another. Similarly an innocent user may get blocked for another user's vandalism. If you are editing from this address and are frustrated by irrelevant messages, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. In some cases you may temporarily be unable to create an account due to efforts to fight vandalism, in which case please read our advice on this situation. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block with the template as the block reason.

Usage: {{SharedIPEDU|institution|host=proxy.example.edu (RDNS optional)}}

Adds pages to Category:Shared IP addresses from educational institutions.

Note: This page should not be substituted, but transcluded.

How is it going ?
Hello Brian, it has been a while since you made the last edit. I just wanted to ask, how it is going and if we can help you somehow. See you soon, Erkan Yilmaz ( my talk page, wiki blog ) 10:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Blackhalo80. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Blackhalo80~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:04, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

PUSH America started out as an acronym for Play Units for the Severely Handicapped then changed to People Understanding the Severely Handicapped. Now PUSH is no longer an acronym. PUSH America was founded in 1977 by Tomas Sayer a member of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. PUSH is now ran and operated by Pi Kappa Phi and gets most of its donations and volunteer work from fellow brothers in the fraternity.

PUSH focuses on three main goals. Spreading Awareness, Fundraising, and Volunteering. PUSH sponsors yearly events like the Journey of Hope which has a team of cyclists ride from one ocean to the next spreading awareness and collecting donations as they go. Other events like Gear-Up Florida, Give-A-Push Weekend, Push Camp, AccessAbility, and many others help spread awareness and offer support to people with disability all over the nation.

Another event is Build America. This event entails a team of men going to special needs camps all over the country giving up there time and money to work at said camps. This event takes an entire summer of building facilities and making places more accessible to people with disabilities. Build America lets team members directly interact with the kids at these special needs camps.

The local Pi Kappa Phi chapter in Kirksville, MO puts on Push sponsored events twice a year in the form of no boundaries week. During this week we plan Empathy dinners, cycling trips around Kirksville, the Mrs. Push America pageant, and we find one special needs family in or around Kirksville and we build them a wheelchair ramp. All money donated during no boundaries week goes directly to Push. This semester we will be riding stationary bicycles on the quad all ours of the week. We are going to ride the equivalent of the Journey of Hope ride in less than a week. We will be collecting donations as we ride 4000 miles without leaving the quad.

World War I/Lesson 1

The First World War was a global conflict which endured for 4 long years. The war marked a beginning of a New Era, the modern world. This conflict was so extreme it caused another one.

Gavrilo Princip
June 28, 1914. Sarajevo. Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie are driven towards a military parade by the Austrian army in Bosnia. Some decades before, Bosnia was conquered by the Austrians and the people were not happy with these invaders. They wanted an independent state. Gavrilo Princip was one of them and he went so far that he joined a mysterious group called the Black Hand. Their mission was to place bombs under some bridges and to assassinate the Archduke and his wife. Why did he do this?

Assignment 1
Search for more information about Gavrilo Princip, write a short biography (100-250 words) about him and include what he said about the assassination and his reason to do this.

Lunar Boom Town/Terraform Station

Jinormic atmospheric generators around the planet would put an earthlike atmosphere around man parts of the moon. Terraform Station controls all of these atmospheric generators. Ecological engineers select hardy plants to and probiotic bacterias, mosses and lichen to be selectively distributed to appropriate locations around the planet.

Robotic sentinals controlled from the Station create piping under the ground to move water around the moon.
