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 (see Behavior). Participation grades cannot be made up.
