SMU Constitutional and Administrative Law Wikipedia Project
Welcome to the SMU Constitutional and Administrative Law Wikipedia Project, managed by Dr. Jack Tsen-Ta Lee, an assistant professor of law of the School of Law, Singapore Management University. As a participant of the project, you are required to collaborate with the members of the group to which you have been assigned to prepare a Wikipedia article or part of one. The aims of the project are to encourage you to internalize the material covered in the course, as well as to contribute towards producing a body of accurate information about Singapore constitutional and administrative law that is freely available on the Internet.
Detailed instructions and information on how your work will be graded are on eLearn. Note, in particular, the following:
- Create an account. Please create an account for yourself so that everyone editing articles can be identified. Please choose a user name that does not suggest a group – do not choose a name like "User:2011Group1". To create an account, click here. Once you have done that, add your name to the "Participants" section below. Remember to log in before editing!
- Working in sandboxes. Your group will develop the article in a "sandbox", which is a temporary page for working on articles. Sandboxes that are subpages of this page have been created for this purpose. To access your group's sandbox, click on the appropriate article name in the blue box below. Your article will not be visible to Wikipedia readers while it is under construction. Articles that ultimately achieve at least a B-category grade will be transferred into the main article space.
- Discussions. You can use the talk page of this page to talk to your group members about the project or to discuss things relating to the project with me.
If you are in Groups 1 to 4 your article should be completed by 4:00 pm on Friday, 21 February 2014 in Week 7 of the course, and if you are in Groups 5 to 8 your deadline is 4:00 pm on Friday, 28 March 2014 in Week 12.

| Your group must work on its assigned article independently without consulting any other group.
Some of you will find that your group has been asked to improve an existing article (such as "Judicial deference"). You are permitted to incorporate material from the existing article into your article, but note that these existing articles have been chosen because they are incomplete and usually unreferenced. The information in them may be inaccurate. | ||
