Will and Daniel's Studies of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder:
Keep in mind not just war is a cause for PTSD other causes include: * Rape * Natural Disasters * Car/Plane Crash * Kidnapping * Violent assault * Sexual or physical abuse * Medical procedures * Death of loved ones * Terrorist attacks * Life threatening illness It all depends on the individual: Something might cause a lot of stress to one person but not to another but these are things that people commonly do that is connected to PTSD.

michael walden: i really like the home page and when i first got to it i was like "wait whats ptsd" but then i saw it said and like ben i think your annotations could have been better but it was pretty good overall.

Helen Samuel Everything was really nice and thought you got done exactly what was asked of you and well for that matter. This might be a personal preference, but I didn't like how in your paper, you titled each paragraph. If your writing is well done, it can flow through paragraphs. Your paper is very nicely written but I'm sure you could make the transitions better. Though this could simply be my preference and not necessarily wrong at all.

Courtney You wiki was really easy to navigate and your paper was really good! I liked how you explained treatment, family therapy, etc. It was really informative and it looks like you put effort into the work. I also agree with everyone else: your annotations were a little short, but besides that, your wiki is cool.

Ben Siegel I really liked your wiki and that you put time into all of the work, it was really good. I would say though it didn't seem like you put as much time into the sources and didn't read them very thoroughly, because the annotations weren't very long.

John Very great looking wiki and its very easy to understand on the paper, good work

Leah: Good work guys. I could tell you put a lot into and it turned out well. I thought your paper layout was organized, but it didn't flow very well. Also you could have elaborated on your annotations. Other then that Awesome job, cant wait for your presentation!

Kirstiana Your paper was very easy to understand and stated the facts nicely. I thought it might have been a little repetitive about the Vietnam war, you mention it once then talk about it again in deeper detail and then mention it again, so I would just explain it completely the first time, so it doesn't seem repetitive, but that was a really good example that made me understand PTSD.

Ellery The home page is a very nice introduction to the rest of the content on other pages. I agree with Ben -- the annotations were short and unclear, so I wasn't able to follow them well. The sections in the paper made it easy to understand, but also sometimes made it seem choppy. I think that sometimes I could tell where one person's work stopped and the other's began -- the fonts and styles of writing did not match. I learned a lot about PTSD from your wiki, especially the governments lack of care for veterans with the condition.

Reed Haury My favorite part of the whole wiki is your paper. My favorite part of your whole paper is the definition of PTSD at the begining of it. I thik that starting with a definition is a good way to start educating the reader about the subject. I also liked how your menu sidebar wasn't crowded with lots of links that all lead to things that could be on the same page. Your wiki shows the signs of being thourogly done to ensure usefulness. Good job!

I thought that your planner discussed the topic very well and made it clear that this topic really means a lot to you. I also thought that you must have spent a long time working on it because it seemed very well researched. I really like that youare doing a topic that a lot of people wouldn't do. Aidan

Martha Nice job of researching this issue and your action plan was excellent. Your paper had a lot of good information, but I agree with folks who said it could have been better organized and integrated. There are also more kinds of treatment than you talk about it your paper. There are many programs and organizations trying to help, as well, and to focus on one or more of those would have added depth to your presentation. Adding a few personal stories from veterans would have made it even more interesting.
