{{start of course week}}

{{assignment|Assignment - Critique an article}}

  • Review pages 4-7 of the Evaluating Wikipedia brochure. This will give you a good, brief overview of what to look for in other articles, and what other people will look for in your own.

  • Evaluate an existing Wikipedia article related to cell biology, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's talk page.

  • A few questions to consider (don't feel limited to these):

  • Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?

  • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

  • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

  • Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

  • Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?

  • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

  • == I will check the talk pages and grade you according to how much you helped the page and people who might be working on them ==

{{assignment|Assignment - Contribute to an article}}

  • Add 3 sentences minimum of new information to a Wikipedia article related to the class (try "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cell_biology_stubs" for ideas). They must be backed up with a 2 citations minimum to the best (most recent and relevant) peer reviewed scientific journal sources.
  • You will work with your assigned group (proof reader, fact checker, and computer/wikipedia tech wizard).
  • Each of you must do your own article for your own separate grade.
  • You must run your article past your group's fact checker and proof reader, and the tech person must be available for technical problems.
  • You must fulfill your group role or points will be deducted (your group will be surveyed).
  • Add 3 sentences minimum of new information to a Wikipedia article related to the class (try "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cell_biology_stubs" for ideas). They must be backed up with a 2 citations minimum to the best (most recent and relevant) peer reviewed scientific journal sources.
