W1. Why are you taking this class? And what practical skills do you expect to gain from attending it? - Baek Seungwon

 1. Why are you taking this class?

I applied for<Globalization Sociology> last semester. I think it interesting to learn about globalization, write about a given topic, and revise Wikipedia. However, due to personal reasons, I did not take any classes last semester. So, I decided to take this class, which is similar to that class.

 

2. What practical skills do you expect to gain from attending it?

I would like to participate in the process of increasingly perfect information by sharing and modifying it with many others.

W8.2 Why Wikipedia is the most efficient of all attempts to collect and organize? / 진신

  Because every entry of Wikipedia needs to be verified by a reliable source. Coupled with the constant dedication of tens of thousands of powerful volunteers, Wikipedia is the most efficient of all collection and sorting attempts.

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3.

How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments?  The assignment in the other class was usually to write a report. It was a task to write an individual's arguments or t...
