This page details homework assignments for Writing Wikipedia Articles: The Basics and Beyond,
a free course offered through Peer to Peer University's School of Open.



Week 4 Homework

edit

Do:

  • Interview a Wikipedian! This is the fun one. Working in small teams, jointly compile a list of questions for an experienced Wikipedian who has agreed to be interviewed (name and contact details will be provided). Collaborate on-wiki to summarize the interview and what lessons you have learned, then tweet #wikisoo to share the finished product! Be sure to check out your classmates' work too.
  • Continue to build the article you've chosen for your main assignment (as described in Week 3 homework). Not getting anywhere? Join us in the lab this week to get things moving!

Week 4 Extra Credit

edit

Choose one or more of the following:

  • Discuss one or more of Wikipedia's policies with a colleague, student, or friend.
  • If you have not yet done so, read about WikiProjects on Wikipedia. Find one that interests you, and join it. Begin to monitor your WikiProject's talk page on at least a weekly basis; start or participate in at least one discussion there. (Though not technically a full WikiProject, Communicate OER is ideal for students interested in Open Educational Resources - just add yourself to the team page.)
  • Participate in a decision on Wikipedia (e.g. a peer review discussion, an article deletion or merge debate, etc.)
  • Help a newbie figure something out (yes, you are ready!)
