School of Law, Singapore Management University: Constitutional and Administrative Law Wikipedia Project (January–April 2010)

This project is managed by Assistant Professor Jack Tsen-Ta Lee of the School of Law, Singapore Management University. Participants of the project are LL.B. students. They are required to collaborate with the members of the groups to which they have been assigned to prepare a Wikipedia article, or part of one, of not more than 2,500 words. The aims of the project are to encourage students to internalize the material covered in the course, as well as to contribute towards producing a body of accurate information about Singapore constitutional and administrative law that is freely available on the Internet. The project page is at User:Smuconlaw.

Students in Advanced Business English will be working on business-related topics, preferably related to Mexico as well. I am looking for mentors for these students (27 in all), especially to help with understanding WP "culture" and wiki tasks such as wikifying and categorizing, which I probably will not have time to cover in class. English related issues like paragraph structure, tone and citation definitely will be covered, but any help here is appreciated because it is good for students to get "real world" feedback on their English communication skills. Students will be working in WP sporadically from August 2010 to the end of November-beginning of December 2010 and one of the options for a final project will be writing an article at least to B class (extra credit for Good status). Please contact me on my talk page if you can help!Thelmadatter (talk) 11:43, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
