Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University at Buffalo/SSC199 (Fall): Difference between revisions

Students will be trained to enhance stubs and start articles related to a topic that interests them. They'll be trained along the way on how to do advanced information literacy searching using open access resources. This two pronged approach will allow them to grapple with their responsibility to conducting an informed and unbiased, scholarly conversation on a global scale.
