The future home of these projects is to be included as a tool for instructors to use to help teach chemistry with modern contexts in real world topics of interest and will be housed here: Exemplars and Case Studies.
For students in this course, you should begin by typing your Duke ID e-mail address (like js1122@duke.edu), leave the password blank for the first time and click on the login button. This will fail the first time as you have no password set up. Then, from the next page, click on the tab in the center box that says "Reset Password" and follow the instructions to create a password and finish logging in. Each member of your group should log in so they can edit.
Use the table below to find your Writing Group page (click on the blue hyperlinked number in the right column). You should do the following three things:
- Click on the "Edit" button at the top of this page (only visible after logging in). Edit the left side of the column in the table below next to your Writing Group number to reflect the title of your Exemplar. Click Save.
- Click on the blue hyperlinked number in the right column next to your Writing Group to open that page. You may need to refresh a few times as it creates the page for you.
- Click on Edit on your page and change the name from the default "Extra Credit #" to being a short name for your Exemplar. If possible, choose to end your Exemplar name with "in _____" where the blank is one of the Exemplar areas from this listing of Exemplar topics.
You are set to start to build your Exemplar! Some notes: you can only view these pages when logged in, they are not public. Once they go through peer review and then are reviewed by the editing team, they can be moved to the Exemplar section and used as a resource for other chemistry courses! You may then list them on your Resume as a published work!
For help with building your exemplar (including how to format math, insert images, and rules for what images that can be included), please see the LibreTexts Construction Guide. Specifically: 3: Basic Editing.
