In small groups (about 5 people), you’ll be selecting an article related to positive psychology that’s in serious need of work (or has yet to be created). Check out WikiProject Psychology to get an idea of just how much work needs to be done: https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Chemical Weapons &lang=en&q=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Psychology

In this assignment, you’ll start by learning the basics of Wikipedia editing and some community standards. After selecting an article, you and your group mates will complete a series of small tasks over the term to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia. While doing so, you'll gradually be putting together your article before making it live for all the world to see. In the end, each member of your group is expected to contribute the equivalent of about one 500 word section.

Note: A lot of things go into a Wikipedia article, so your contributions are likely to consist of more than text - hence "the equivalent of about" 500 words. The quality and quantity of your references (both external and to other Wikipedia pages) and interactions with classmates (and other Wikipedians) will influence your grade. As will the organization of your article, your (effective) use of (relevant) images, and anything else that you might add beyond text (e.g., a table, if your article calls for it).
