=Essay Discussion= Hi guys! We can use this section to post any literature related to our project. I think our project involving this theme:   crime and illegal activity on Internet. We can approach this topic from these following examples: 1.Black market on Internet, like Silk Road on dark web 2.Internet fraud, like pyramid selling on Internet 3.Terrorist propaganda on social media Find the relevant literature about these topics and we might find something useful.

I think Chen xi's division is very clear.We can each be responsible for a part and look for some examples.--MingchenTeng (discuss • contribs) 21:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Is this article useful for our topic? It is a survey about the link between media use and crime.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08838150701308143 --MingchenTeng (discuss • contribs) 00:26, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

I don't think so. It involves traditional media (Television). This topic talks about offence and anti-behaviour on Internet, especially on social media and online communities.Knowers (discuss • contribs) 10:01, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Well done, friends. but I think offence and antisocial communications not only involves the crimes you said, but also some antisocial psychological control. For example, the blue whale."Blue Whale", also known as the "Blue Whale Challenge", is a social network phenomenon dating from 2016 that is claimed to exist in several countries. I think this is a typical case of anti-society communications. It's an anti-social organization that spreads and expands through social media. Maybe, we should find more ideas about our topic.--Zhang xinli2012 (discuss • contribs) 10:51, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

hay guys - some really useful work in here so far. You outline some very interesting and original topic areas to discuss in relation to the chapter topic "offence and antisocial communications". I would counsel that you do take care in your research here as some of the topics you suggest are sensitive topics. But the main focus for research is secondary, desk-based research for the purposes of this essay, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. There's some interesting points made in the above paragraph on "blue whale". I'm not familiar with this, but it seems to relate to nudging and manipulation online (if I'm reading things correctly)? which would be a really productive take on this topic.

I would absolutely advise that you get writing on the main essay page asap - the more time you give over to the drafting process, the more you will be able to spread the workload and ease the burden of trying to complete work at the last minute.

Thank you for your suggestion and we think these suggestions are very useful. We will start writing the essay right away. Ok, according to everyone‘s hobbies, we are now beginning to divide the work. part1, Emily, Dissemination of discriminatory information. part2, Lily, anti-social games on social media. part3, Steve, Dissemination of cybercrime.

hey again! I just found a couple of really useful sources in the university's online library resources relating to your topic: Lewis Levenberg, Tai Neilson, and David Rheams book Research Methods for the Digital Humanities has a chapter on how researchers might approach aspects of Dark Web for research (Gehl, "Archives for the Dark Web: A Field Guide for Study") - not that you need to conduct primary research here, but it will give you a sense of some of the stuctural aspects of dark web that you might be able to discuss. The other thing is Chen's collection Dark Web Exploring and Data Mining the Dark Side of the Web which is also available in the library online catalogue and has a number of case studies that relate quite closely to the areas you discuss. Hope these are useful! GregXenon01 (discuss • contribs) 15:16, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your recommendation! These literatures are very useful for our project.Knowers (discuss • contribs) 19:26, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

For the case study of your part, I found two interested articles: https://npf.mlpol.net/mlpol/archive/src/1518807632316-0.pdf https://www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/ICWSM/ICWSM17/paper/view/15670/14790 I think these articles will provide clear definition and theoretical framework about hate speech for you. Knowers (discuss • contribs) 19:26, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I would list the references and prepare for the outline now.--MingchenTeng (discuss • contribs) 23:49, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi guys! Pay attention to typesetting. I think my writing part should follow yours.Knowers (discuss • contribs) 16:26, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Okay, and I made a section for us to post suggested reference for our essay, which in the bottom row. It's not easy to finish a a page on Wikibook, thanks to our cooperation to reduce stress.:)--MingchenTeng (discuss • contribs) 16:47, 28 November 2019 (UTC) @GregXenon01:Thank you for your suggestion and we think these suggestions are very useful. We will start writing the essay right away.   Hi guys! We can use this section to post any literature related to our project  I have submitted the content of "Anti-Social Games on Social Media" for your reference. Zhang xinli2012 (discuss • contribs) Please pay attention to the submission format of the references. Please fill in the reference  in the text area instead of  in the reference area.

INSTRUCTOR FEEDBACK: COLLABORATIVE ESSAY
br> Grade Description for Collaborative Essay:

Collaborative Essays of this standard roughly correspond to the following grade descriptor. Depending on where your actual mark is in relation to the making criteria as outlined in the relevant documentation, it should give you an idea of strengths and weaknesses within the achieved grade band overall:


 * Satisfactory. Among other things, satisfactory standard work may try to relate an idea from the module to an original example, but might not be very convincing. It may waste space on synopsis or description, rather than making a point. It may have spelling or grammatical errors and typos. Attainment of most of the intended learning outcomes in evidence, some more securely grasped than others, resting on a circumscribed range of evidence and displaying a variable depth of understanding. The wiki markup formatting will need some work.

General: In addition to the common marking scheme, there are three broad criteria widely employed in the Division, which are used to help assessors evaluate your work in a more general sense:

Quality of research: is there evidence of critical engagement with set materials?; is there evidence of independent reading of appropriate academic and peer-reviewed material? For this element, your work has been evaluated as: Merit

Originality of thought: Is argument well-articulated and well-supported?; is there evidence of critical thinking (through taking a position in relation to key ideas from the module, and supporting this position)?; is there evidence of relational thinking (through making connections between key ideas from the module and wider literature, and supporting these connections)?; is there evidence of independent critical ability? For this element, your work has been evaluated as: Satisfactory

Clarity of expression: academic writing style and structure, and organisational skills For this element, your work has been evaluated as: Poor

Specific Feedback:


 * You have submitted a fairly well thought out response to the brief. Here you outline a number of arguments that specifically address the theme of antisocial behaviour related to gaming culture, and also to the unregulated Web. Your discussion of the research evidences a familiarity with a range of scholarship on your chosen topics. The examples that you have chosen to discuss your theme are fairly well-chosen although the overall effect is rather disjointed at times, and this is due to the fact that on occasion you do not make explicit connections between the different sections as the argument builds. In addition, the standard of writing is variable and needs a lot of work.


 * The essay is written in a fairly disjointed style as noted above, but your argument does make a lot of sense once the reader gets past the problems with grammar and syntax etc. Most of the essay is critically engaged, and you have demonstrated some awareness of the contradictions inherent in the theme itself. So, overall, some room for improvement here, particularly in terms of effectiveness of communication, but there is some good material in there that, although needing a little further development in places, evidences potential.

'''N.B.: Feedback for your individual Essay Discussion Page contribs elements for the assessment will be given on your individual User Discussion Pages. That individual feedback should be considered in relation to the feedback here, because of the fundamentally connected nature of the two tasks. Grades for all work will communicated confidentially via Canvas.'''
