For 2 extra credit points please watch the following video and comment on either (1) how this impacts your view of copyright or (2) if you feel you are part of the remix culture and what that means to you. This is due next Wednesday.

For this extra credit assignment, find a page in Wikipedia to edit. It should be pretty intuitive, but if you need help, we can give you some pointers.  You’ll need to add at least one sentence to get the extra credit points. If you do this, you’ll get one extra credit point on your final grade. If you make an addition that needs citation, and add the citation to the appropriate place on the page, you’ll get a total of two extra credit points on your final grade.

To get the extra credit points, print off the page before you make the edit and afterwards, and highlight or circle the area you’ve changed. Bring them to class on Monday.

If you have questions about how to make edits to Wikipedia, please see Kaeley or Lauren.

Hello everyone.  This is a surprise extra credit assignment worth two points on your final grade.   It is due on Monday, November 12th.

Earlier this semester the Old Gold and Black ran a story on Wikipedia called Wikipedia use ignites academic debate.  The article discusses the debates going on at colleges across the country about the usefulness of the site.  The article also mentions several things we’ve brought up in class such as the role of encyclopedias in the research process, peer reviewed works as authoritative, and the information timeline.

For two extra credit points, please comment on your impressions of Wikipedia in light of this article, and how it could or could not be useful as a reference source
