LIB 100 Section 1 (1071), M W 10:00 - 10:50. Research course for GSMA first-semester undergraduate students. They will adopt a high-importance, Stub- or Start-class article related the their major in groups. Each group will conduct research over the semester, building additions to one or more areas of the Wikipedia article, which they will add to the article at the end of the semester, possibly in a class &quot;Edit-a-thon.&quot;

Week 3
Welcome to the Wikipedia portion of the class. All actions you need to take will be posted in Brightspace. This page contains links to the steps you'll need to complete for the Wikipedia work in this class, with links to training modules and your classmates' work spaces.

Your course has been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. You can reach them through the Get Help button at the top of this page.

Resources:


 * Editing Wikipedia, pages 1–5
 * Evaluating Wikipedia

This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.

Week 5
Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you. (Because of Wikipedia's technical restraints, you may receive a message that you cannot create an account. To resolve this, please try again off campus or the next day.)

First, evaluate your article individually and bring your evaluation to class. Then, work with your group in class to create a consensus evaluation and give the rest of the class a tour.

Week 15
The actual assignment is in Brightspace; the training that shows you how is here. In the training, pay attention to edit summaries, which are a brief statement about what your edit was, and letting people know about your future edits in the Talk. You can ignore the info about new articles, since you're all editing existing articles.
