To receive full credit, complete the following:
Part I - Objectives graded as 'credit/no credit' (full credit awarded for completing the following):
Practicing the basics & Training modules (5%): complete all assigned training modules. The completion will be automatically tracked by Wikipedia, and will be time stamped. Students who receive a 7/7 will get full credit.
Critique an article (10%): create a section in your sandbox space clearly labeled as your "Critique an article" assignment. Include your full article critique.
Add to an article (10%): create a section in your sandbox space clearly labeled as your "Add to an article" assignment. Briefly summarize (bullet points are ok) your contributions.
Draft your article (10%): create a section in your sandbox space clearly labeled as your "Article draft" assignment. Draft your work there. If you move your work live to an existing page, you should follow the instructions provided and copy the HTLM text to the new location. If you start a new article, link to the new article in your sandbox space after you move your work live.
Part II - Graded objectives (credit awarded based on completeness and quality):
Peer review and copy edit (10%): offer at least two of your classmates feedback on their drafts in the talk page associated with their sandbox. In your own sandbox, create a section titled "My peer reviews" - there, you should copy/paste the text you put in the talk pages (e.g., "Review of Article Title X" {copy/paste your review} and "Review of Article Title Y" {copy/paste your review}. You will also have an opportunity to summarize your reviews in your "Reflective essay." CORRECTION: We did this via email so no need to put in your sandbox or "Reflective essay".
Respond to your peer review (10%) & Final article (30%): in your sandbox include a section entitled "My Article Before Peer Review" and another section entitled "My Article After Peer Review" (this is the final version of your article you will submit to Wikipedia for review). You will also have an opportunity to summarize how you responded to peer review and the main points of your article in your "Reflective essay."
Reflective essay (10%): in your sandbox include a section entitled "Reflective essay" and follow the instructions on the Timeline page; please number the sections of the essay accordingly to make it easy for us to assign credit. What you write in your "Reflective essay" will also be used to help assign credit for the sections above.
In-class presentation (5%): information will be distributed in class.
