Abstract
PSY100 students created new biographies for Wikipedia’s PSYCH+Feminism initiative. They reported that Wikipedia editing improved their skills in identifying sources (only 24% reported using databases for research prior to the assignment). Students reported that writing content was their greatest difficulty and indicated the need for practice to overcome this.
