CZ:Special Topics 2010
Project overview
During July and early August of 2010, groups of 2-4 students will author an article in Citizendium on an "emerging technology" topic (to be pre-approved by the instructors). Students will be expected to include on each article more than one deep web references such as academic (refereed) journals, patent searches, and business surveys. The articles that students will be working on (to be listed below) are not closed to editing by other citizens, but we ask that other authors respect the "ownership" of these articles until after the conclusion of the course. We'd appreciate hearing any comments or suggestions you might have on their respective talk pages, plus the usual correction of grammar or spelling.
- Instructor: Pat Palmer and Dr. Dave Matuszek
- Institution: University of Pennsylvania
