IR 393, Seminar In Intervention, Fall 2010


Each class member will edit or create a Wikipedia page on an intervention that you have selected.


Resources and Assignments

For now this is in a file on our Lehigh CourseSite under 'Assignments.' I will look into the practicalities of moving it here.

(The following is a summary of a recommended schedule. I am leaving it here for my own reference. Don't worry about it--it appears to be aimed at courses where editing Wikipedia is the main activity.

This is a summary of the key due dates and the expected timeline for the assignment. For example:

  • 9 September (week 1) - Create account, create a user page, and add your name to this page
  • 14 September (week 2) - Request a mentor who will be available to offer advice and assistance as you start editing. List 3-5 articles you will consider working on as your main project.
  • 16 September (week 2) - Review an existing article.
  • 21 September (week 3) - List the article you will work on. Begin compiling a bibliography and studying the sources.
  • 28 September (week 4) - Bibliography draft due.
  • 5 October (week 5) - Outline draft due. Begin writing 3-4 paragraph summary version of your article (with citations).
  • 7 October (week 5) - Seek feedback from mentor on whether your summary article meets Wikipedia's requirements
  • 12 October (week 6) - Move your summary article into main space, compose one-sentence "hook", and nominate it for Did you know.
  • 26 October (week 8) - Initial version of complete article due. Offer feedback and suggestions to classmates, request peer review.
  • 2 November (week 9) - Recommended deadline to nominate articles for Good Article status.
  • 16 November (week 11) - In-class presentations about project.
  • 2 December (week 13) - Final version due.)
