Iteratively define Header/Footer

Question

I wrote a LaTeX document (approx. 50 pages) with 2 classmates together. Now i want to show who wrote which part in at the top right of each page. For example at page 2-15 will be my name at the top right corner and at the top right corner is something like "calendar week 30".

How can I do something like that?

I found the answer myself:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\def \thekw {0}
\def \thespecificauthor {My Name}
\setlength{\headheight}{15.2pt}
\pagestyle{fancyplain}
\rhead{KW \thekw~- \thespecificauthor}

When I modify these variables via

\def \thekw {21}

in the document, the following headers will be correct.

I would actually prefer \newcommand* and \renewcommand*. – Speravir Jan 14 '14 at 01:00
Why do you prefer it? Would it work, too? – schaeferpp Jan 14 '14 at 11:55
See What is the difference between \def and \newcommand?. May also be interesting: Why are some LaTeX macros defined using \newcommand and some using \def?. – Speravir Jan 14 '14 at 17:46
