Wikipedia as the last project??


one professor in US, has a unique idea for his students as the last project. He prefer to ask his students to edit the contents of wikipedia rather than make the final report. A professor who is named Martha Groom from washington university gave that task for his students in order to improve the writing skill of his students. That task is given because he investigated that the contents of wikipedia do not complete, moreover he knew that there are still a lot of information from wikipedia that is not accurate which can give some disadvantages for its reader. Beside that writing and editing task the contents of wikipedia is one form of new transformation in writing final report, and as the result, the writing in media online is better than the writing in final report that is usually given as the last project. By giving that task, the students will become more challenging in doing that task because they know that the reader of their writing is not only a professor, but also all people around the world.
