This is a boilerplate wiki-[[syllabi]] for any course which is going to ask students to do something on Wikipedia. It is divided into several sections. First, [[#Introduction for students|'Introduction for students']] which introduce them to Wikipedia. Second, [[#Assignment|'Assignment']], outlines instruction specific to a working paper assignment (to be written by a group of students as a major assignment). Third, [[#Stages and deadlines|'Stages and deadlines']], describes the stages and deadlines as applicable for a short, 1.5-month term (if you are teaching during a regular term, just spread the deadlines around...). Fourth, [[#Important tips|'Important tips']] contains various tips for the students. Fifth, [[#Grading|'Grading']] explains my grading policy, elements of which you may find useful (in particular, the checklist for article quality). The last sections contain the list of students and articles they are working.
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]]. If you just want your students to do a few smaller edits, you may still find the information in its [[Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/Piotrus_course_intro_boilerplate/old#Exercises_for_students|'Exercises']] section of use, but otherwise, I consider it obsolete.
All text in <> are examples to be replaced by whatever you want when you copy this boilerplate. Feel free to replace anything else, change anything else, and do whatever you want with this boilerplate. In particular, note that this syllabus has details on deadlines and grading that may not be compatible with your course.
