Wiki Editing

I think it's not as much what I learned from the research (which was a good bit...now I'm thinking about maybe studying business for my field...that would be a pretty big change though, I don't know) as what I learned about editing Wikipedia - a very useful skill to have, for you and for others- and academic writing in general. This was good practice for learning to write in a specific tone and style appropriate to the situation. A lot of students out of high school are used to writing persuasively, and it's important to know how to get away from that. Wikipedia has served as a writing window, sort of as a professional practice field for our writing.
