Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/New York University/Research Process and Methodology - SU24 - Sect 200 - Thu (Summer 2024)

The purpose of this Wikipedia Extra Credit assignment for our Research Process and Methodology course is for students to take what they learn through critical reading and analysis of the literature and share it in an open and accessible way with others interested in the same area of interest.

This arises from a belief that knowledge sharing, like karma, benefits both sharer and receiver. As the primary deliverable of the Research Process and Methodology course is the identification of a researchable problem, development of a research question, and a literature review on the topic, sharing our depth of knowledge with a wider community benefits our credibility as developing experts in our own areas of interest.

Assignments, all of which are extra credit, should be done by the end of each week (end of the day on Saturday), and they must be done in order. Weekly assignments may not be skipped, as they continue to build upon one another.

You may begin the extra credit at any time, but late assignments must be current by the end of Week 2 (Saturday, June 29). If you have not started and caught up through week 2, you will not be permitted any additional extra credit for this assignment.
