Wikipedia:WikiProject Rocks and minerals/General
Hello, It has been a long time since I did any Wikipedia editing, so forgive my memory. I was unable to find a general forum, so pardon my presumtion of creating a new page. I am a college instructor looking for a meaningful project for undergraduate students in an online physical geology course. My idea was to have students adopt a mineral stub and add material over the course of the semester, with the hopes of bringing the article up to a C- or B-class level. I hope to try out this project with about 5 willing undergraduate volunteers this semester, with a completion by May. Would this be a problem? Do you think it is doable? I seem to recall hearing about this from a Earth Science Education conference, though I think the project was geared towards high school students, does anyone remember this? I hope you all would find this useful, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. My students will want to begin next week. Thanks! F. Vincent Hernly Instructor, Earth Sciences Department, IUPUI
