W15 : What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 What did I learn while editing Wikipedia?


I learned a lot from editing Wikipedia. In particular, I learned about Wikipedia's credibility again. In fact, if you look at my W1 posting, you can see that I think of Wikipedia as a sort of untrustworthy medium, but that changed as the class progressed. As I edited Wikipedia articles, I found that writing reliable information requires a lot of additional materials and that such efforts consist of one article.

Also, I learned that there is a lot of really useful information in the English version of Wikipedia. I was really surprised to see that the English version of Wikipedia was stored almost completely in all fields of art, food, customs, artists, and movies from other countries. This made me quite tired because I had nothing to edit, but it was good to get a lot of information that I didn't know.


How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignment? Is it more fun?


It was good to have a high degree of freedom. I've always edited topics that I'm interested in, doing 10 weekly Wikipedia editorial assignments, and it's been a lot of fun to edit about my favorite company, food, and artists. Being able to edit directly on these topics was a really new experience for me and very enjoyable.

    I am so happy for you to see you saying that you can be happy with Wikipedia's editing tasks. Because it shows that this lesson was very successful, it aroused our interest in Wikipedia. And this is also a good start. In the future, we will continue to discover the mysteries of Wikipedia and continue to make our own contributions to Wikipedia because of this interest.

    I was surprised that all fields were written in the English version of Wikipedia, even in other countries. As I read Korean documents written on English Wikipedia, I corrected myself what should be supplemented as a Korean. But it was mostly well written!

W4: What are the pros and cons of using Naver vs Google for research purposes?

Google Scholar: In terms of academic research, Google Scholar is a web search engine that can search academic articles for free. Its source of information is also professional and rich. For example, articles from academic publishers, etc. There are also most of the published academic journals in the world. It also supports advanced search functions such as keywords, classification and filtering, and you can find the most relevant research documents in the entire academic field in a few seconds. Every search result on Google Scholar will show citations. This provides a good extended search clue, which is convenient for users to directly view related papers. As a Chinese student, even in mainland China, Google Scholar cannot directly access and use it. We will still use VPN and other methods for reference when conducting research. NAVER: And naver is more like an interactive community. There are more academic websites in Korea.  As a Chinese student, I think Naver rarely uses for acade

W2 : After watching Mitch Resnick’s TED video

 Through this video, I realized that programming education is not only as deep and professional as I know it, but also more flat and interesting. With the change of the times and the advancement of technology, the times we experience are indeed constantly changing. I believe that programming is just a way of learning like reading. It does not depend on any subjective intentions but exercises people’s logical thinking and creativity. China There is a common saying that “giving others fish is better than fishing for others.” I believe that programming does not exist as a short-lived technology, but behind it is that people need to keep learning with the times and have an open attitude. The purpose of early childhood education is different from the professional education we receive now. Early childhood education is more inclined to teach children the way of thinking, rather than the part of applying knowledge or technology in a professional subject as we are now learning. Therefore, addin

W13/After reading “Categorization”/HARI KIM

Summary) Categorization is a kind of list for dividing topics, and it helps users find information easily. All documents must be in at least one category. Therefore, categories must be well chosen. How are the numerous articles on Wikipedia categorized? First, the category should be chosen as the most helpful topic when someone reads the article. And usually an article doesn't exist in both the top and the subcategories at the same time. If there are few documents in the category you have in mind, you should check to see if they belong to a subcategory. It is also important to maintain a "neutral" perspective when categorizing. New/Interesting things I learned) I learned that usually one document does not exist in both the upper and subcategories at the same time. Before I knew this information, I had made a mistake in categorizing documents. In categorizing articles about rivers, the article was already part of a subcategory, but I have made mistakes by adding a top cate
