From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grading[edit]

The Wikipedia bonus marks will be awarded as follows:

  • 1%: Creating you Wikipedia username, linking it to the Canadian Education Program, registering with the APS Wikipedia Initiative, linking your username to your student number
  • 1%: Editing on Psychology-Related Wikipedia article by adding one or more sentences that provide new information relevant to the article AND providing a citation that backs up the information you added
  • 1%: Doing the same thing again, either in the English version of Wikipedia or, even better, in some other language version that you feel competent editing

Please note that 1% will be deducted if text is added without backing it up with a reliable source OR if the reliable source is not properly cited. Whatever is added must be reworded from the original source. Copy and pasting information into Wikipedia is considered plagiarism and will be treated as a serious academic offense.
