The immune system is complex and fascinating. Cells of our immune system encounter and destroy bacteria and viruses daily, most often without our even being aware of their presence. This course will emphasize how cells of the immune system recognize their microbial targets and communicate to coordinate a (hopefully) successful outcome. We will begin by covering the basic components of the vertebrate immune system and move on to look at how cells interact with one another to produce an immune response to a foreign invader. We will put it all together by looking at the role of the immune system in infectious disease, allergy and asthma, autoimmunity, vaccination, obesity, and immunotherapy. In addition to learning the basics of immunology, you will have the opportunity to improve your research and writing skills as you develop into public scholars.

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

Resources:

  • Editing Wikipedia, pages 12 and 14
  • Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.


Assignment - Begin moving your work to Wikipedia

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."

Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13


Assignment - Continue improving your article

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.

Milestones

Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
