This assignment will constitute part of the grade for students taking ETFS 3123 Industrial Hazards, ETGR 5302 Industrial Hygiene, and ETGR 5303 Ergonomics. ETGR 5302 and 5303 are cross-listed with 4000-level senior-level courses, but additional work is required in order for students to receive graduate course credit. In those courses, each student will have their own topic. ETFS 3123 is an upper-level undergraduate course- students will have a partner that they can work with on the project.

The assignment has two options: Contributing content to an article or Translating an article. Creating a new article may also be possible, but modifying current articles is more manageable.

Roughly 20% of our students are international students, and a few health/safety articles have been translated in previous course offerings, which is why I am interested in continuing to offer a translation option.

Assignment - Option
Translate an article

If you have fluency in a second language, you may wish to translate a Wikipedia article either from the English Wikipedia to the Wikipedia of your second language or vice-versa.

When translating articles, keep the following in mind:

  • Be sure to check that the article you wish to translate does not already exist on the Wikipedia where you'll be doing the translating.
  • Be sure to evaluate the article you wish to translate - i.e. ensure that it's well-developed and well-sourced.
  • Keep in mind that each language Wikipedia has its own set of norms and policies and is administered by its own community.
  • Finally, remember that translation is not simply about words, but it's also an act of cultural understanding and exchange.
