This is a revised, LONGER version of [[Wikipedia:School and university projects/Piotrus course intro boilerplate/old|my old boilerplate syllabus]]. This boilerplate is designed for courses where students work in groups and have several weeks to improve an article to a [[WP:GA|good article status]].

== Editors in <course> ==

<'''this looks scary only because it is not filled in, it is very easy to use - see [[Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/User:Piotrus/Summer_2008#Editors_in_SOC0005|example]]'''>

Course instructor: <[[User:Piotrus]] (Piotr Konieczny) '''replace Piotrus with instructor username here'''>

Max 5 students per group. '''You DON'T have to give your real name below''', but if you don't, do email your instructor (Piotr Konieczny) <'''replace with your name'''> with your name and account so I know whose account is whose. I recommend using your first name and initial.

Please add your username and name below by adding your username and first name to <nowiki>[[::User:|]] ([[::User talk:|talk]] · contribs) (name)</nowiki> so that it looks in the edit mode like this <nowiki>{{user|Username}} (Name)</nowiki>. Once you do so, it will look much nicer, like this: {{user|Piotrus}}
