Wikipedia talk:Education program archive/University of California, Berkeley/Politics of Digital Piracy (Spring 2013)/Week 5 assignment

Week 5 Assignments

 * Go through the entire Tutorial

By Tuesday, please select a Wikipedia article broadly related to the topic of this course and at some point this week write a brief summary of how you intend to improve it. (You're also welcome to start a new article if there is not a Wikipedia article about your chosen topic already. If you'd like to do this, please talk to me in person before actually creating your article - but please do have an idea or two in mind before Tuesday (the 19th). The list below includes some potential articles, but it's fine to choose something not on this list. If you haven't found a topic on your own yet and don't like any of the ones currently listed here, check back later - I'll put more potential topics up over the course of the week.
 * As we've talked about previously, improving a Wikipedia article will be one of the main components of this class.
