The purpose of this Wikipedia Extra Credit assignment for our Research Process and Methodology course is for students to take what they learn through critical reading and analysis of the literature and share it in an open and accessible way with others interested in the same area of interest.
This arises from a belief that knowledge sharing, like karma, benefits both sharer and receiver. As the primary deliverable of the Research Process and Methodology course is the identification of a researchable problem, development of a research question, and a literature review on the topic, sharing our depth of knowledge with a wider community benefits our credibility as developing experts in our own areas of interest.
Assignments, all of which are extra credit, should be done by the end of each week, and they must be done in order. Weeks may not be skipped. Late assignments will not be accepted after Week 5 (10/5).

This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
Create a new section (named with the week / assignment / and your Wikipedia name) and introduce yourself on the professor's FULBERT Talk page.
Each assignment should begin with its own new section at the bottom of the Talk page. Sign all your Talk page comments with " LuChen2019 ( talk) 03:45, 13 December 2019 (UTC) " (that will stamp your entries with your username and time/date).

Finalize your topic / Find your sourcesBe sure to select and assign yourself the article before you begin editing it or adding a citation to it. Beyond adding a citation alone, make sure to provide a sentence or two to express your contribution in context (which the citation will support) to demonstrate how it adds to the knowledge in the article.

Please take a look at whichever of these seem most related to your topic. They all contain useful guidance:
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts or revisions to the articles they hope to improve.
If you have identified an article that does not exist in Wikipedia and you believe you can write from scratch as part of this process, let me know and I will work with you directly on it throughout the rest of this extra credi assignment.
Similiar to the assignment last week, select and assign yourself 1 more (different) articles and add a citation to it. Be sure to provide a sentence or two to express your contribution in context and demonstrate how it adds to the knowledge in the article.

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
