UC Berkeley Prof trades wiki-bias for grades (2017)

Berkeley gave students grades based on altering Wikipedia pages to advance “environmental justice” narratives. UC Berkeley instructor Michel Gelobter launched a course whose course description gave students grades based on their willingness to advance an “environmental justice” narrative, by altering Wikipedia pages. Slurring President Trump with falsehoods, upped the grade. Eventually, Wikipedia editors did delete some of the more egregious additions, but many remained. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2017-03-26
