== From Prof Carmel J. Caruana

Dear students here are some hints on writing your wikilecture. ==

VERY IMPORTANT Aim for quality not quantity! A lot of copying and pasting without true understanding would be easily detected by the examiner. Make sure you have some good diagrams. If it is copyrighted material, just describe it briefly and give the author and provide a link to it.

You wiki lecture should consist essentially of three parts:

1.	Introduction

a.	Start with a good definition which shows that you have understood clearly what the title of your wikilecture is about! b.	Explain the definition in more detail - as if you are explaining it to a colleague who does not know it.

2.	Say why it is important in clinical medicine

a.	In which branches of medicine is it important? b.	What is its role in diagnosis or therapy or both?

'''3.	Say briefly what the literature says about it. Answer some of these questions:'''

a.	 Are there different types? b.	What are advantages and disadvantages? c.	How does it work? d.	How was it developed? e.	What is the present state of its development? f.	Are there any risks in it’s use? g.	etc etc

'''4.	Conclusion

a.    What future developments are envisaged in the area? '''

Reference List Give 3 - 5 KEY references (not the first ones you come across but those which provide real good information and which you can recommend to your colleagues if they want further information).

The following information should be given for each reference:

Book: name of at least one author or corporation; title; edition; year; isbn

Article in journal: name of at least one author or corporation; article; journal; pages; year; volume or the year; issn.

Webpage: name of at least one author or corporation; url.
