Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you. (Because of Wikipedia's technical restraints, you may receive a message that you cannot create an account. To resolve this, please try again off campus or the next day.)
Once you have your account created, review the "Wikipedia Policies", "Sandboxes...", and "How to Edit" trainings.
After you've completed those trainings, start thining about what makes scientific topics good on Wikipedia. Review the "Evaluating Articles" and "Plagiarism" trainings, then eplore related biochemistry topics on Wikipedia and pick a topic to evaluate yourself. Use the exercise below to help you through this evaluation
After you complete this exercise and these trainings, you should be able to:
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
Each group will be select a biochemistry topic. Use the exercise below to help assign yourself your group topic (HINT: only one group member can select the topic from the "Available article" list, the other group members should manually assign themselves their group topic on the Students tab above.)
Once your topic has been assigned, use the rest of the exercise slides to help begin your research.

Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Each group should have their complete first draft ready in ONE group members Sandbox. This draft needs to be ready for peer review.
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
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.
Resources:
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."
