This course is composed of three requirements, two projects (P1 & P2) and participation listed in the chart on the right. Each requirement will be on-going throughout the semester, will require regular contributions, and may be comprised of various assignments. Each of the major projects (P1 & P2) must be attempted and submitted in order to pass the course.
Wikipedia Contribution (P1)
This project has you writing a new Wikipedia article from scratch or making significant contributions an existing one—work equivalent to a 10-page research paper. These contributions will correspond to the books we’re reading for class and to those we’ll be teaching.
Teaching the Text (P2)
This project will have you team-teaching the text you will be researching and writing about on Wikipedia. A sign-up sheet will be passed around during the first week of class.
Participation
Active participation in the classroom is required. Your daily work and attendance represents your participation, e.g.: reading, discussions, training, exercises, library tasks, reading quizzes, peer editing, the viewing of a film, and similar activities. Your participation in group activities and your preparation for class will be weighed heavily in evaluation: participation, effort, and attitude count significantly. You should not sit in class like you’re watching TV: learning requires active participation and enthusiasm . Participation grades cannot be made up.
 | Students must complete all assignments in each of the three requirements above to successfully pass the course. |
