As part of the Wiki Education project, we will become Wikipedians.
Crew Wikipedia Page: 25 points
For this assignment, students will edit one Wikipedia page (may be a page chosen for midterm research or something new, with permission).
For details on each assignment, enroll in our Wikipedia Course Page! The workload in these modules will be completed in and outside of class depending on how much time we have. On March 16th, we will spend class in the DASHlab participating in the Art + Feminism Edit-a-thon, where you will learn how to edit!
