Requirements

This section of NMAC 5108 has three major components. For easy access, the first three correspond with tabs at the top of the syllabus, P1, P2, and Log respectively.

Group Wiki Project (P1)

Our group project for the semester will be to write an article from scratch: The Faith of Graffiti, a 1974 essay by Norman Mailer about New York City’s graffiti artists. We will read, research, and write about the essay on Wikipedia as a class.

Wiki Project (P2)

Assignments leading to writing a new article from scratch or making significant contributions to one or more Wikipedia articles — work equivalent to a graduate-level research paper. This requirement is the major emphasis of the course, and one your should work on regularly and consistently throughout the semester.

3Cs Log (Log)

A daily process log will help you document your progress in the class at the same time allowing you to practice your writing regularly. This log will be housed on various Wikipedia talk pages, emphasizing the betterment of Wikipedia and assist in community building.

Online Participation / Daily Work

Since there is no (or limited) face-to-face class time, regular and active participation in online platforms is required. Your daily work online represents your attendance, e.g.: discussions, (b)log posts, training, exercises, short writing responses, reading quizzes, peer editing, and similar activities. Your participation in group activities and your online engagement will be weighed heavily in evaluation: participation, effort, and attitude count significantly; online learning requires active participation and enthusiasm (see Student Behavior).
