Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Duke University/Psy 250 Myths and Mysteries of Memory (Spring 2020)

This course provides an overview of the science of memory and assesses how this work is translated outside of academia. In that context, students will be assessing the quality of wikipedia articles related to memory, and updating them to reflect modern research on human memory.

Week 1
Welcome to your Wikipedia assignment's course timeline. This page guides you through the steps you'll need to complete for your Wikipedia assignment, 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 2
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.)

Week 4
Everyone should have made at least one comment on a talk page or implemented a change.

Week 5
Workshop in class where we will follow up on our suggestions from March 4th.

Begin graded Wikipedia Project: decide upon group (if desired), select topic, start working. NOTE: this project involves editing existing wikipedia entries, NOT creating new ones. So you should be able to hold discussions in talk and won't need to move a whole article from a sandbox.

Week 7
have something up and ready for feedback by the 15th. Prepare to give feedback on others' work.

Week 8
It's the final week to develop your article.


 * Read Editing Wikipedia page 15 to review a final check-list before completing your assignment.
 * Don't forget that you can ask for help from your Wikipedia Expert at any time!

Polish your entry based on the feedback you've received. Hand in your summary sheet. Make sure you've provided feedback to others.

Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
