Wikipedia talk:Education program archive/University of Michigan/History 232: 22 Ways to Think about the History of The University of Michigan (Winter 2015)/Grading

Grading
1.	Ambition of the project: a completely new Wikipedia biography or complete overhaul of an existing one will be graded better than edits or additions to an existing one.

2.	Number of sources consulted and used – more is better than less; 5 – 10 is the ball park. You will be given a long list of possibilities.

3.	Care with which the person’s life is contextualized in his or her times (which requires that some of the sources used be general ones on the times in which the person lived).

4.	Ability to meet posted deadlines (lateness in any stage will result in a lower grade overall).

5.	Quality of writing and ability to improve: you will receive feedback and suggestions on your first draft but no grade.

6.	Overall participation in the project both as author and supportive reader of the work of others. We will use peer review of the Wikipedia versions.

Papers will be evaluated according to the following criteria with the final grade on this project reflecting your overall performance on the exercise as below:
