This section of ENGW3302, Advanced Writing for the Technical Professions, asks students to write in their field as they would outside the university — for other researchers and scholars, in professional settings, and for public audiences. Writing for Wikipedia — that is, writing in an objective, approachable way using highly credible sources and meeting the standards of the Wikipedia community — offers students in the sciences a valuable opportunity to use their writing skills and access to scholarly sources to improve public access to science.
