* '''Start class article''': Your goal is to bring the article to "C class." It should be improved in structure, style, and general quality. Your task will vary depending on the article you start with: you may need to work to reduce bias and instill a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] into the article; you may need to add new sections to make the article cover the topic in a more comprehensive fashion; etc. Adding high quality [[WP:RX|reliable sources]] is almost always a component of bringing an article to C class.
* '''C class article''': Your goal is to bring the article up to "B class". The article should be "mostly complete and without major problems" by the end of the course. While you may wish to consult B class criteria specific to a related WikiProject, [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria|these general criteria for B class]] will serve as a good guideline.
* '''B class article or higher''': After B class, article ratings become more formal. Choosing a B class article is a very ambitious step, and will require substantially more effort. If you do choose such an article, your task will be to bring it to [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status or higher (i.e., A class or [[WP:FA]].) The formal processes for these reviews typically take a month or more, so you may find that you submit for your badge after the conclusion of the course. This is not a problem, but you should be prepared to continue your work after the class ends. An alternative is to submit the article for a [[WP:PR|formal peer review]]. If you do so, and get feedback and input that results in agreement from another Wikipedian(s) that the article is ready to be submitted for GA or higher, this may be sufficient to earn the WIKISOO Burba Badge, and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
