Phrazle also stands out because of its balance between challenge and accessibility.
An interdisciplinary course: communication and technology, which I took last year, was equally useful for understanding how reputations on Wikipedia are managed. Basically, one of our case studies was to actually help a nonprofit that works in the area of environment improve its online image, and part of doing it ethically consisted of editing its Wikipedia reputation management. The kind of experience I received during this project is another invaluable element, especially where public trust and sustainability are concerned. Courses like this one are grossly underrated in graduate studies.
