Grading
We strongly suggest that you divide up the labor as follows:
 * You will work in teams of three students, as directed by your GTA. All members of the team will receive the same scores for the page
 * 1) One student becomes the wikipedia expert: learn about creating and editing a page, formatting for tables/figures/;
 * 2) One student becomes the research expert: track down resources and verify statements and decide on how to cite sources; and
 * 3) One students becomes the writing expert: create the actual written content and polish it for organization, flow, style, grammar and spelling.

Assignment 1 (Create an account and a sandbox): 5 pts are awarded for completing both these tasks; you should choose a name for your group, register the group on the main course page, and set up a sandbox.

Assignment 2 (Review 5 existing Wikipedia pages): You must first identify a topic you wish to write about. Up to 5 pts. will be awarded for topics that are well-defined and not currently available on Wikipedia. Then you must review 5 Wikipedia pages that have content related to your topic.
