Talk:Microaggressions in the classroom

Figures (2 points)
A minimum original figure/flow chart/graph/picture must be added to the site
 * Expectation partially met
 * The authors added an examples section to the "microaggressions type" chart (from the existing microaggression page).
 * It would be beneficial if the authors add examples not just of microinvalidation, but also of microinsult and microassault
 * For example, what makes intentionally discriminatory acts "micro"?
 * Remove exclamation point from chart

References (1 point)
A minimum of 6 references must be added to the site
 * Expectation not met, references not listed/formatted
 * We assume that they will be subsequently added.

Content (2 Points)

 * 3 Sections Added
 * Yes


 * Intro for General Public
 * Yes, though the intro is about microaggression not about microaggression in the classroom


 * Well-written
 * Yes
 * Clear examples of facilitator microaggressions in classroom
 * Clear examples of microaggressions related to course content
 * Clear examples of facilitator interventions, and appropriate responses to validate the array of student experience
 * Overall a really great tool for a wikipedia reader!
 * One question is, to which "classroom" does this article refer (ie- elementary, middle, high, college, graduate school, other), seems bias toward college


 * Comprehensive
 * Yes


 * Well-researched
 * Unknown
 * Supported by inline citations, but sources not cited, so reliability of sources not verifiable
 * Some sources are directly quoted, which should be fine, but it might be worth looking at whether they should instead be paraphrased and cited


 * Neutral
 * For the most part
 * "Instead of looking at the experiences as points of contention, it can be a great opportunity for students to learn and grow"
 * This statement would read with less bias if supported by a citation, otherwise it comes off as being of the author's opinion
 * Article bias toward context of higher education


 * Concise Lead Section
 * No
 * Although the lead is a handy rereview of microaggressions, it would be good to cut straight to microaggression in classroom, since that is what the article is about, rather than a definition of microaggression, which can simply be linked. Might just be worth adding this section to the microaggression page.


 * Appropriate structure
 * The microaggression page has very little on it, and could benefit from your section being added to it, rather than creating your own page
 * Make "Microaggression" spelling consistent (currently spelled different ways in some spots, ie: micro aggression v microaggression)
 * Characteristics of microaggressions should be given its own heading, and the "consequences" point is better under impacts not characteristics
 * It would be nice if the subsections under the heading "Microaggressions in the Classroom" could be indented or better distinguished
 * Eventually, there should be a linked wikipedia page on Difficult Dialogues, since it is a pretty specific/academic term
 * "Course Content" and "Classroom Climate" should be different subsections
 * Clean up the "indented line" text between quotes, and get the quotes to align with their relative bulletpoint
 * Put bulletpoints without supporting quotes last (it's easier to read that way)
 * Conceptually, what is it that distinguishes the quotes, the "other approaches" and the Fordham/Colorado facilitator suggestions? It's not clear.


 * Consistent citations
 * N/A


 * Appropriate images with acceptable copyright status
 * No images provided, one chart contributed


 * Appropriate Length
 * Yes

Edits by Section

 * Intro
 * Intro should be more about classroom microaggressions, less about microaggressions, which already has a page that you can link (or add your page to it).
 * Characteristics seems as though it should have its own section, rather than to fall under the intro


 * Impacts of Microaggressions
 * Does the research say that the consequences are "including but not limited to" or do you? If it's you, consider deleting that passage


 * Micro Aggression in the Classroom
 * Title should be spelled consistent w/ remainder of the article (ie: Microaggression)
 * This section should be your article's introduction, with its italicized subsections made into subheadings
 * "Student silence doesn't always mean an acceptance or aggressment with the statement, and can be a sign of feelings of oppression, both real and perceived"
 * Remove contraction
 * This section is the heart of your article, with really wonderful content that just needs to be reorganized a bit.
