This course will be offered to third and fourth year medical students to enhance their communication skills as it pertains to explaining complex medical conditions, treatments, and paradigms to non-medically trained individuals. Students will also learn how to condense information from secondary source guides into best practice guides using systematic reviews, literature reviews, and foundation papers to up date Wiki-articles.
Welcome to your Wikipedia assignment's course timeline. This page guides you through the steps you'll need to complete for your Wikipedia assignment, with links to training modules and your classmates' work spaces.

This is the first step in the Peer Review Process. All assignments will come through me in an attempt to maintain anonymity between author and reviewer. This models how the peer review process works at multiple publications and NIH study sections.
The first assignment due November 13 should have your first “draft” edits in the talk page for your article & either your completed Workplan worksheet or a 1-2 page document discussing the topic/page you chose, why you chose it, noted gaps/changes you would like to make, & progress made thus far.
Resource: Editing Wikipedia, pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.

You will be assigned a Peer's article to review by me. I will alert you of the link via email and provide you with their workplan worksheet or summary, as well as the link to their page. After reviewing all provided materials you must craft a "Reviewer Recommendation".
While reviewing your assigned peer's works look for the following:
Here is a link to the Wikipedia Peer Review Rubric offered by Wiki Ed for evaluating student contributions to Wikipedia articles. While we will NOT formally use the point system, it does provide a nice complement to the criteria listed above.
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."
Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13
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.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
These presentations will take place during our final class meeting on 11/24
Each student will present for up to 10 minutes on the following:
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
