This course, the second in a sequence of writing courses required for all Fisk students, adds research and source evaluation to the previous course's focus on argument.
Students have spent the past two weeks reading about Wikipedia. I will introduce the assignment, and students will create accounts.
Before class, students will complete ten minor edits on Wikipedia and the training modules on Evaluating Articlesand Finding Your Article. In class we will work on selecting articles to edit.
In class we will discuss the training modules complete so far, and Wikipedia’s policies about notability, verifiability, reliability, NPOV (neutral point of view), and No Original Research
This week you will continue working in groups, understanding the Wikipedia policies and choosing articles to edit. See our course syllabus for details about assignments: a paragraph about reliability and verifiability, and an annotated bibliography.
On Monday, March 19 we will meet in the library for instruction.
You will have time in class to work on your edits.
Complete your edits by Friday, March 23. You will workshop them in class.
See the syllabus for details and deadlines.
