Students study classics in World Literature in translation within their cultural context and the humanistic issues presented in each text. Alongside, students learn to edit Wikipedia, considering examination of source reliability, concise and neutral writing style, and logical construction of information. Then they choose a novel that is notable and newly translated from any world language and create a new Wikipedia article.
