MHRM 6605 Walden U Starbucks Strategic Goals Welcome to this unit’s discussion! In this discussion, you will analyze and discuss your
readings and prepare for success in this unit’s major writing assignment.
LEARNING GOALS: By participating in this unit’s discussion, you will:
•
•
•
Identify the broad genre of argument as it applies to academic writing
Explore the potential value of Wikipedia as an educational tool
Practice using quotation and citation of sources as a rhetorical strategy for academic
writing
TASK: To participate in this week’s discussion, please follow instructions for both of the
prompts below. To facilitate orderly discussion, please create a separate reply for each
prompt.
Prompt 1: In the first prompt, practice writing for the conversation. Select either Crovitz
and Smoot’s “Wikipedia: Friend, Not Foe” or Waters’s “Why You Can’t Cite Wikipedia In My
Class.” Write a short summary of the article’s argument, including a description of what you
believe to be the article’s main claim and major supporting reasons why. Include at least
one direct quotation from the article that illustrates the argument, and follow MLA
guidelines to quote it. (Hint: see Easy Writer for examples of quotations, in the chapter
“Creating MLA in-text citations.”) Then, respond to the argument by indicating what
aspects of the argument are persuasive to you, which are not, and why.
Prompt 2: Now that you have read about Wikipedia, including learning about how
Wikipedia articles are created (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., it’s your
turn! To respond to this prompt, try your hand at creating a Wikipedia article on a subject
that is not yet addressed in Wikipedia. First, search Wikipedia to make sure no article yet
exists on the subject. (For instance, as of May 2016, no article exists on Wikipedia for Park
University Women’s Golf Team.) After you have confirmed that there is no article for your
subject, follow Wikipedia’s guidelines to create a “stub (Links to an external site.)Links to
an external site.” article. Strive to meet Wikipedia’s values of a neutral point of view, no
original research, and verifiability. Your “stub” article should be between 200 and 400
words. Post your article in this discussion. (You do not need to post your article to
Wikipedia, although you may do so if you wish.)
Don’t forget: you must respond to both of the prompts in order to have the possibility of
full credit.
