Grading
COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING

Participation (25%): Active contribution to discussion, sharing ideas and insights, is critical to the success of project-centered anthropological training. Collaboration, discussion, and engagement are what I ask of you. If you don’t attend class, you cannot participate.

Coursework Practica (10%): Quizzes are multiple choice and short answer.

Contributions Development (20%): is determined by the quality of content, style, and foresight developed as you prepare your Wikipedia contributions. Our shared goal is an outstanding experience and projects for you.

Mid-term Group Projects (15%): Our first presentations will be prepared and presented as a group. The aim is to clearly state your project, describing your article, your contributions, problems you’ve encountered, and how you’ve resolved them.

Breadth Requirement (5%): Library bibliography research project. We visit the library and you have a chance to learn how to find materials that interest you for developing Wikipedia research ideas. As you prepare your research projects and final articles, you will have developed a bibliography that is relevant to your topic and that can be incorporated into your final article. Make use of the resources the library holds by utilizing the online databases described below in the Course Readings section of this syllabus. You might also check on the JSTOR holdings; there are some 240 journals available.

Final research project and presentation (25%): Your completed project is expected here; your finely-honed, carefully-worked research project is up and published in Wikipedia. Your presentation and article are assessed.
