Educational assignment template
The students on this course should have been asked to add  and WikiProject Medicine to the talk page of the articles they are working on. I've now done so. If the course runs another year, please ask the students to do this, as it will help to bring expert assistance to the articles. Pam D  11:42, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

 * I am going to start moving the new articles to draft space; editors in this class are not being responsive to notes about sourcing etc... Jytdog (talk) 21:54, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Copyright
Do the students on this course understand that they should write in their own words, not steal other people's sentences? Transoral robotic surgery contained several chunks of other people's words. I'm not sure that I've identified and removed them all. Pam D  22:53, 12 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I have now found that one of last year's course articles, Arytenoid granuloma, is entirely made up of text stolen from this textbook. It appears highly unlikely that the student editor had read any of the sources they cite, which are almost certainly those cited by the textbook. This is disreputable academic practice. So last year's students didn't learn anything about copyright, or didn't choose to apply their knowledge. If the student who "wrote" this article got a "pass" mark for the course, then the instructors involved should get a great big "fail" as they are letting down their students and allowing the encyclopedia to be corrupted by lazy editing. I have nominated the article for deletion. Pam  D  13:25, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
