Throughout this course, we have thought about the research, drafting, and writing process and how it has changed in the complex digital environments we live/work/go to school in. Throughout this course, we have chosen a specific topic to develop over the semester and have written about that subject within through different assignments and forms.

We're ending this semester on Wikipedia...where you will be applying what you have learned about your topic and contributing to Wiki pages.

This is exciting! You will be making a big (worldwide) impact! Even with a small contribution.
