 * IB Chemistry Medicines and Drugs Option **

 This wiki has been created by IB Chemistry students for IB Chemistry students to help them understand how medicine and drugs can influence the functioning of the body. Although the structures of complex molecules will be used you are not expected to memorize them for the IB Chemistry exam. You will however need to recognize fundamental structures and relevant functional groups.

**Expectations**
 The pdf file below outlines the contribution expectations. Contributions can involve adding new content, and reading and modifying existing content. Your personal contribution will be assessed and monitored using the revision history tool. You are expected to spend 2 hours on each section.



**Guidelines**
 1. **Only one person can work/edit a single page at any one time**.  3. Contributions should be an concise and directly relate to the verb used in the assessment statement.  4. Diagrams, images, video should be used as much as possible to enhance explanations. Be sure to check their credibility and chemical accuracy. Diagrams and structural formula from reference books can be scanned and inserted. Miss Mia the science assistant can help you with this.  5. Structural formula and equations you want to use in textbooks might need to be scanned and saved as a JPEG file so they can be inserted. Correct structural and molecular formula should be used whenever a molecule is being described  7. Information should be presented clearly and concisely under each assessment statement and have very few errors in grammar, sentence construction, spelling, capitalization and punctuation. Answer the assessment statement directly, because this wiki is going to be your class notes for this topic. Bullet or numbered points are encouraged. //Remember Less is More//.  8. Only use credible sources where you can rely on the factual accuracy of the information presented.  9. As with all wiki's the accuracy of your contributions will be reviewed and edited where necessary by an expert.

1. Don't change or delete any of the pages or assessment statements or change the color from blue.  2. Don't modify anything on the home page. 3<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">. Text should only be in black 4. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Don't delete another student's work without checking with them first or by making a notes in square brackets [ ] on the wiki that gives justification for why you think this information does not meet the assessment statement's requirements. It is the responsibility of the person who created the content to decide if it should be deleted or modified. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 5. Permission does not need to be given to correct grammar, sentence structure, spelling, punctuation and factual errors. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 6. Don't delete the "toc" at the top of each page. This is the code for the table of contents

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">1. Sign up as a member of the wiki <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 2. Bookmark the wiki on your computer. There is also a link on the Chemical Paradigms wikispace and [|blog]. Alternatively you can sign on at [|www.wikispaces.com] to see all the wiki's you are members of on the dashboard. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 3. Learn the basics of how to build a wiki: adding text, bullets, and numbers ; inserting images ; embedding video ; making links to websites. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 4. Make sure you have your IB Chemistry syllabus (page 100 - 105) and data booklet with you before you start. The syllabus hasdetails on the requirements for each assessments statement in the teacher notes sections. Be sure to read them. The data booklet has all the correct structural formulas. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 5. Read the relevant pages from the three textbook resources provided before you start working on a page. They will give you a feeling for the depth and breadth of coverage needed. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> -Neuss, Geoffrey. __IB Study Guides, Chemistry for the IB Diploma.__ Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> -Brown, Catrin and Mike Ford. __Standard Level Chemistry__.
