Before you begin contributing to Wikipedia, it's critical that you know how to assess a Wikipedia article. This exercise will teach you how to identify an article's strengths and weaknesses and how to apply what you learn here to your own contributions.

Start by choosing an article on Wikipedia related to your course to read and evaluate.

To find one, you can:

• look through the Academic disciplines category,
• look through these C-class articles, or
• search within a WikiProject that is of interest to you. (A WikiProject is a group of Wikipedians that forms around a particular topic).
