Wikipedia:Student assignments

Student assignments should always be carried out using an Education Program course page. It is usually best to develop articles on the students' user pages, or as drafts. After evaluation, the articles may go on to become .

Each student editor should register his or her own editor account. Under no circumstances should more than one student edit under the same account.

Of particularly high importance, please read carefully what this page says about plagiarism and copyright infringement below, and please take it very seriously!

Experienced editors might give you advice or might revert your contributions with an edit summary. Please consider their advice attentively; it usually will help your assignment be more successful. Be responsive if they start discussing your edits at a talk page (the article should be on your watchlist). If someone removes or changes your work, read their edit summary in the article's history. (Do not "edit war". See WP:3RR.) If you disagree with an edit, it might be best to open a discussion on the article's talk page, politely explaining why you believe your version is better. Please use policy and guideline-based arguments on the talk pages. Sometimes other editors may add a template pointing to a problem, rather than making any change to the article content. These should not be removed without addressing the issue identified, but if you are unclear on what is needed or you disagree, starting a talk page discussion and pinging the editor who placed the template is appropriate.

Always use the Dashboard to create a course page for your class every time that you teach it, and please ensure that your class follows the above advice for course pages, user pages, and user names; please make these requirements to receive assignment credit. Your students should post a on the article talk pages they plan to improve. When new articles are written, please ensure that your students also place that template on the article talk page.
