		+
		+	Q: Prof. Should Wiki Admin, teaching assistant and other six survey assistants do the translation homework and quizes ?
		+
		+	A: No. They get 100 points.
		+
		+	===Important rules for creating new websites on Wiki===
		+	====How do I create the page where the students find their translation homework====
		+	Important is that I later find all the translations as links on the book projects website. Therefore, if you create a page like this, you would start with the existing website with the whole text of the book and then add links to parts of the book on top of the page. These parts can be as long as 1 session‘s homework and can lead to subpages on which there is just one session‘s homework. If you have the subpage, you can also directly link To it from the respective place of the course homepage. However, you need to make sure that if one goes to a link or a sub webpage, one find immediately a link how to go back, e. g. to the book projects website or to the course homepage.
		+
		+	The translation page often gets too long, because it may contain a whole book in Chinese. If it will get even longer, a database error will occur. Please keep the page, but make sub-Pages and put links to the sub-Pages on the top of the page and on top of all subpages. Then divide the text up in 5 parts and move first the last 20% of the Chinese text to subpage 5, then the 2nd last 20% etc.
		+
		+	Example: [[Chunfeng_EN]]
		+
		+	Don’t create double pages.
		+
		+	Translation is a team sport.
		+
		+	Except from the students, there are a lot of other people working on the book right now.
		+
		+	For example copy editors, proof readers living in the United States of America etc.
		+
		+	So if you create such a double page, the other people will continue to work in the old page.
		+
		+	This is not good.
		+
		+	====Creating a homework website====
		+	Also, if you create a new page, never name it “Homework of session 2”.
		+
		+	Because on the platform there are 100 courses.
		+
		+	All page names need to be clearly associated to a course.
		+
		+	So you would have to include at least the date into the website name, and hope, that there is no other course having homework on the same date
		+
		+	Better call new pages “20221022_homework_lang_fall” - then it is unique and identifiable.
		+
		+	On a homework subpage, you can list all the different homework’s to do.
		+
		+	However, for the actual translation work, it is better to put a link to the sub webpage there.
		+
		+	====What is the list of terms on a translation homework website?====
		+	When creating a translation page, do not forget the list of terms on top of the page, where people need to mention how they translate terms of the text which occur often. This list should be at the beginning of each book which is translated.
		+
		+	This helps the other translators.
		+
		+	Only when the whole book will be finished, the US based proofreader will look through the list of terms and make corrections. If he correct the term “Book of Documents” to “Book of Speeches and Documents”, then he can replace it in the whole book at once. Of course it would be good if the terms in the list are already accurate.

+. First of all, it is important to link the homework page to the course webpage. You can use the suggested logic. For example, the students are used to look at the section for next week's class. There you should create a subsection instructing the students what to prepare for next week's class. One thing should be, to read readings or textbook texts and to take a quiz on them. Another thing should be to select topics and to enroll in certain tasks during the semester. One of the tasks is to do a presentation. So you should also create a subsection of the session's subsection where the students can upload their powerpoints and fellow students can download it.
