Grading

The Wikipedia project will account for 25% of your overall grade this semester.

Wikipedia contributions will be graded as follows:

• 10 pts each (x3): Participation grade for early Wikipedia exercises
  
• 70 pts: Quality of main Wikipedia contributions, based on following criteria:
  • 25 pts: Comprehensiveness- how fully the article covers significant aspects of the topic.
  • 15 pts: Sourcing- adequacy of inline citations and quality of sources relative to what is available.
  • 10 pts: Readability- how readable and well-written the article is.
  • 10 pts: Neutrality- adherence to the Neutral Point of View policy.
  • 10 pts: Formatting- quality of the article's layout and basic adherence to the Wikipedia Manual of Style.
  • 5 pts: Illustrations- how adequately the article is illustrated, within the constraints of acceptable copyright status.

Note: the points above add up to 105 because not every article necessarily requires illustration, thus those points are available as extra credit to make up for losses in other areas.
