- Assignment - Practicing the basics
- Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you.
- It is essential that you log in with your username every time you work on or complete an assignment. You will not get credit for completing the work if you are not logged in.
- It's time to dive into Wikipedia. Below, you'll find the first set of online trainings you'll need to take. New modules will appear on this timeline as you get to new milestones. Be sure to check back and complete them! Incomplete trainings will be reflected in your grade. Complete the four training modules by Sunday, 15 October 2017, 11:59 pm.
- When you finish the trainings, practice by introducing yourself to a classmate on that classmate’s Talk page.
Week 3
- Course meetings
-
- Tuesday, 17 October 2017 | Thursday, 19 October 2017
- Assignment - Form your group and identify an article
Form your group (up to 5 students). Individually complete the training module "Finding Articles" and then identify a course-related article that has an epidemiology section or paragraph(s) suitable for improvement, or, perhaps is missing altogether.
- Identify which group member's sandbox all members of the group will use for drafting edits.
- Submit the article URL and the group membership at the beginning of class on Tuesday, 24 October 2017, per the instructions received in class on 5 October 2017.
- The course instructor will review the article you selected to be sure that it is suitable for the assignment.
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to the article. There are two ways you can do this:
- Add 1-2 sentences to the course-related article, and cite that statement to a reliable source, as you learned in the online training.
- The Citation Hunt tool shows unreferenced statements from articles. First, evaluate whether the statement in question is true! An uncited statement could just be lacking a reference or it could be inaccurate or misleading. Reliable sources on the subject will help you choose whether to add it or correct the statement.
