9. Do you want to contribute to a Wikipedia page?

Instead of writing a traditional semester research paper, over the course of the semester you will rewrite a page on Wikipedia.

In general, the students who take this class have never contributed to Wikipedia or to an online blog or public website before -- and that is fine! We will spend several weeks at the beginning of the semester learning how to create and rewrite Wikipedia pages.

The technical procedures and logistics are very simple, and you will be led step-by-step through the process over the course of the entire semester. (See technical requirements.)
