Grading

Your work will be graded on five aspects:

1. Content: A minimum of one section per group member must be added to the site. The quantity and quality of the added content will be evaluated based on:
   1. Readability - Is the web page suitable for first-time/general users as well as for those looking to understand the topic in more detail?
   2. Content – is the material an accurate representation of all current, available knowledge on the topic? Has the group enhanced the quality of the page?
2. Figures: A minimum of 1 figure or scheme must be added to the site per group member. Again, both quantity and quality will be evaluated. At least one figure must be original work done by the group, other figures can be taken from primary sources if they are correctly referenced and don’t violate copyright.
3. References: A minimum of 3 references per group member must be added to the site. The quality and appropriateness of these references will be evaluated. Note that references should come from all sources, primary literature, review articles, etc. It should be clear that group members have done in-depth research, and have read and understood all included reference material.
   1. Don’t just cite the most recent article; also cite the first people who came up with the idea. For example, try to cite at least one of the first five people who worked on the topic.
4. Presentation: Each group member must participate in the presentation and present their individual contribution to the site. You will be graded individually on the clarity and content of your presentation.
5. Written Report: The written report includes a single-spaced two-page explanation of all changes made to the Wikipedia site. This report will contain an explanation of why those changes will enrich and enlighten the understanding of future Wikipedia readers. This write-up should contain an analysis of every primary source used in the article, and how you used it to contribute to the Wikipedia article. This report will also contain an explanation of changes suggested by other students during peer reviews and a description of your peer review of another group’s article. In an appendix, you should include a "before" and "after" screenshot of the Wiki page.
