Boston College Biology (fall 2009)
As a part of the BI481, Introduction to Neuroscience course at Boston College, students are assigned the task of writing several articles in Wikipedia pertaining to neuroscience. The Society for Neuroscience has recently begun an initiative to update and improve incomplete neuroscience related articles here on Wikipedia. You will play an important role in this initiative through this assignment.
There will be approximately 20 groups of 3 students each. Each student will have a separate Wikipedia account, and each group will propose, write, edit, and maintain a new article or significantly expand upon an existing incomplete article (stub). They will be expected to expand their article to the level as close to Featured Article as they can.
Supervisors: I, Joseph Burdo will take care of introducing students to Wikipedia and ensuring they and the project are working within the bounds of Wikipedia guidelines.
Important dates: The project will begin on Friday, September 18th, 2009, and end Monday, November 30th, 2009.
