Contributions will be about flow phenomena in the natural environment and approaches to modeling them. For example, buoyant thermal plumes, turbulence, and riverine shear-flow dispersion.

Week 1
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.

Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the &quot;Get Help&quot; button on this page.

To get started, please review the following handouts:


 * Editing Wikipedia pages 1–5
 * Evaluating Wikipedia


 * Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you. (To avoid hitting Wikipedia's account creation limits, this is best done outside of class. Only 6 new accounts may be created per day from the same IP address.)
 * It's time to dive into Wikipedia. Below, you'll find the first set of online trainings you'll need to take. New modules will appear on this timeline as you get to new milestones. Be sure to check back and complete them! Incomplete trainings will be reflected in your grade.
 * Submit one sentence on bCourses describing something you learned about how Wikipedia approaches truth, accessibility, or inclusion.

Week 2
Take the training exercises listed below regarding images on Wikipedia. Think about what types of images help you learn. Read some Wikipedia pages regarding waves and think about whether there are any &quot;missing&quot; illustrations you would like to see added.


 * Read the Illustrating Wikipedia handbook and Editing Wikipedia pages 10–11.
 * Explore Creative Commons search.creativecommons.org.
 * Explore Wikimedia Commons commons.wikimedia.org.
 * Submit a sentence on bCourses describing the difference between Creative Commons and Wikimedia Commons.

Week 3
Choose a topic from class, or one closely related to class, for which to add an illustration. The illustration can be a graph, and animation, a photograph, a sketch, etc. Make a sandbox page showing a draft of your illustration and a draft of its caption. Contact a classmate and ask them to peer review your draft. Review their draft, too. Submit on bCourses one sentence describing one part of the feedback from your peer review you found helpful. Or describe why none of it was helpful, if none of it was helpful :-)

Week 4
Improve your illustration based on peer review. Think about what else you would like to see improved in it before it is visible to the public.

Week 5
Upload the image you have created and add it to your article. The 4 trainings may be helpful to you but are not required. Submit a link to your image on bCourses.
