This course explores the metabolic diversity and genetic regulation of prokaryotes. Students are biomolecular engineering majors, so the focus is on beneficial applications of prokaryotic metabolism.

The Wikipedia assignment in this course will give students a framework in which to learn about a topic in depth. They'll also provide feedback on each other's work and hopefully see their contributions incorporated into Wikipedia articles.

Make edits in response to reviews and polish your final article version

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

Resources:

  • Editing Wikipedia, pages 12 and 14
  • Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.


Moving your article "live" (if you were working in the sandbox)

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."
