Week 9: Getting and giving feedback

Professor Ruppel knows collaboration is a critical element of contributing to Wikipedia, and while some students have experienced feedback from Wikipedians concerning ideas, copy-edits, or even substantial contributions to the students' articles, others have seen little editing from the Wikipedia community.

Fortunately, a class full of fellow learners is a great pool of peer reviewers. So students begin to review each others' articles soon after full-length drafts are posted, to give everyone plenty of time to act on the advice of their peers.

Professor Ruppel encourages the students to focus their peer reviews on specific issues that can be improved. Since students are usually hesitant to criticize their classmates, she gives examples of the kinds of constructively critical feedback that are the most helpful.
