Grading

Detailed points distribution is in the syllabus. The WP project is a little over half the total grade. The following information appears in the syllabus:

Wikipedia Project: Developing and sharing expertise 180 points, divided. Complete academic research that includes peer-review articles, NGO and government reports and data, books, quality journalism, and course materials. Create a Wikipedia entry on a well-defined topic that is not already on Wikipedia. Work with a classmate to edit each other’s work. Develop a final presentation on the process. The entry will be based on independent library research and selective use of course materials. Components evaluated in these points include quality of edited final sources (20 points), quality of first draft (20), quality of peer edits (20 points), quality of final draft (40 points), overall efforts at revisions (15) final presentation (15 points) and ongoing Wikipedia homework (20). Generally, WP homework is due on most Thursdays and Fridays. Prof. V will grade on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
