Data literacy is the ability to communicate quantitative information and requires transcription and translation between text, graphical display, and numerical data. This course takes a social science approach to combining these forms of evidence, making claims with them, and conveying them to diverse audiences. In the first part of the semester, we will analyze interdisciplinary cases that demonstrate the potential of writing about numbers. In the second part, we will critically address the pitfalls of quantitative writing and students will hone their skills by communicating a case study of their choosing to public audiences. Students will develop transliteracy in multiple media in order to evaluate and construct social research claims.
Students will augment Wikipedia articles with text and graphical elements based on research in their area of interest.
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
You'll want to find or create an appropriate photo, illustration, or piece of video/audio to add to an article.
All work should be added to actual Wikipedia article at this point. Be sure to make a final review of assignment requirements and evaluation criteria.
