I am going to be in your class many times this fall to support you with your WIkipedia assignment. We will be covering the following:
- setting up a Wikipedia account and writing and editing articles
- doing research on the Web and in the library for sources for your article
- evaluating sources for credibilty and "notability" (Wikipedia's criteria for publishing articles)
- exploring systemic biases in how information is created and shared
Here are a few things you should know:
- I am here to help you learn about college-level research. I understand learning doesn't work the same way for everyone, and that learning these skills and habits of mind takes time and lots of practice.. I want you to feel comfortable reaching out for help during and after our classes together, and confident about using this guide throughout the semester.
- I do my best to foster an inclusive classroom environment to ensure that all of you are respected, safe and supported in your learning. If there is anything I can do to better support you, please let me know.
