Wikipedia:School and university projects/University of Kansas - Anthropology

I'm an anthropologist on the faculty of the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. I have been having students undertake assignments on Wikipedia for several years now, with an emphasis on entries relevant to the History of anthropology as well as WikiProject Mesoamerica and WikiProject Pseudoscience. This semester, students in my graduate seminar "History of Anthropology" have created new biographical entries for notable anthropologists. Students in my undergraduate course "Archaeological Myths & Realities" are currently creating and revising entries relevant to pseudoarchaeology. Past projects have included entries created by students in the following courses: "History of Anthropology" (Fall 2007), "The Ancient Maya" (Fall 2008), "Ancient Central America" (Fall 2009), and "Archaeological Myths & Realities" (Fall 2010). The assignments and how I approach them have evolved over the years, but I've been generally satisfied with the results. You can follow these on my Talk page.
