CHEM 300 is a third-year course on communicating chemistry that is taken by our undergraduate chemistry students. The course focusses on written communication skills, oral communication skills, scientific reasoning skills, science & the scientific literature, and professional skills.

In our course, we teach students to really think about the context and audience for which they are communicating. In our Wikipedia assignment, students will take ownership of a Wikipedia article on a topic of their choosing, to augment the body of knowledge available to the public. In this way, they will work to take their disciplinary knowledge and communicate in a way that is meaningful and useful to the public.

Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.

{{assignment|Assignment - Respond to your peer review}}

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

Resources:

  • [https://wikiedu.org/editingwikipedia#page=12 Editing Wikipedia], pages 12 and 14
  • Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.

{{assignment|Assignment - Begin moving your work to Wikipedia}}

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."

Resource: [https://wikiedu.org/editingwikipedia#page=13 Editing Wikipedia], page 13

 

Continue to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
