Lecture 1 was an introduction into the course detailing the schedule, the grading system, and the method for submitting work in the class. Groups of 5 or 6 were to be created to work on homework and submit homework reports. These reports were originally going to be submitted on Wikipedia, but are now being submitted on Wikiversity. The remainder of the lecture was spent discussing the advantages of this method compared to more traditional methods used in other classes. This method would enable a sharing of knowledge throughout the class leading up to exams to allow all students to become better prepared for those exams. This would be accomplished by the posting of the top three homework reports on the class main page, making available the correct answers to the whole class to use for study. The top three teams would be given extra credit, but if any flaws are discovered in their reports some of that can be taken away and given to those who found the flaws.
