Course description

Both educators and students working with the Interdisciplinary Affective Science Laboratory at Northeastern University will be editing both existing and new Wikipedia pages on emotion and affective science. This project will function much differently from the typical courses that participate in the Ambassador program because the laboratory does not operate like a typical class.

Please note that this project is editing at a much different pace from many of the other classes, as the lab is not limited to the semester time limit and is working on many other projects than this.
