Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Brigham Young University/The United States Since 1877 (Winter 2024)

This course surveys the history of the United States from the end of Reconstruction to the present day.

In lieu of a final exam, the final project for the course will consist of a series of online trainings, activities, writing assignments, and presentations that culminate in the researching, writing, and publishing of a Wikipedia article. Students may choose any topic (person, event, organization, artistic work or cultural representation, etc.) related to U.S. history from 1877 on, including those covered in course readings and discussions. Students will be assigned to work in groups of 2 persons. Students must complete this assignment to receive a passing grade in the course.
