Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire/Epidemiology ENPH 450 (Fall 2016)

Fundamentals of epidemiology including measures of morbidity and mortality, descriptive epidemiology, and principles of epidemiological study designs.

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 Content 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.
 * 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.
 * When you finish the trainings, practice by introducing yourself to a classmate on that classmate’s Talk page.

Week 2
Form your group (up to 5 students). Complete the training module &quot;Finding Articles&quot; and then identify a course-related article that has an epidemiology section or paragraph suitable for improvement. Submit the article URL and the group membership per the instructions received in class on 22 November 2016.

Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. There are two ways you can do this:


 * Add 1-2 sentences to a course-related article, and cite that statement to a reliable source, as you learned in the online training.
 * The Citation Hunt tool shows unreferenced statements from articles. First, evaluate whether the statement in question is true! An uncited statement could just be lacking a reference or it could be inaccurate or misleading. Reliable sources on the subject will help you choose whether to add it or correct the statement.

Week 3
Expand the contribution that you made last week. Post you plan and potential sources on the Talk page of your Wikipedia articles to obtain feedback from the Wikipedia community. Revise your work as necessary.

Week 4
Monday, 19 December 2016, in class:

The latest version will be moved to the main Wikipedia page. Submit your reflection paper per the instructions received in class on 22 November 2016.

You are a Wikipedian -- go forth and make the world a better place.
