Week 3: Exploring the topic area
Marguerite begins to exploring potential articles for improvement, the most promising of which she’ll post on her user page. Professor Ruppel had a list of appropriate 'stub' or 'start' articles ahead of time for the students to choose from. Although this took more time for her to prepare, it got her students researching their articles sooner.
The Campus Ambassador told the class that it can be tricky to find the right balance between lack of prior good Wikipedia coverage and available literature from which to build new Wikipedia coverage, and that it may take some time to find an appropriate article to work on.
Marguerite feels supported by both her instructor and the Campus Ambassador who clearly explained last week how to find help should they run into trouble on Wikipedia (e.g., live chat help).
