Quality
It is incongruent: just see the title.

What about copyright?

I suggest deleting it.


 * Welcome to Wikiversity! Please note that, unlike other Wikimedia projects that focus exclusively on content, Wikiversity's mission has a dual purpose. We host both learning materials and learning projects. In this case, the resource is a real-world course learning project on communication and identities in institutional arenas. The subpage content is student essays written as part of the requirements for the course.
 * Whether or not it is congruent, it is what the student wrote at the time, and this was their contribution to the public good regarding this topic. I did a quick search and didn't find any copyright issues. The original source is referenced in the title and at the top of the article. As it is a summary of the original source, most copyright concerns would be addressed by Fair Use.
 * You are welcome to suggest deleting it, but this is not a resource that would qualify for speedy deletion. You would need to formally Requests for Deletion and make the case for it. Note that Wikiversity doesn't have a lot of deletion discussions. We try to be supportive of the learning process. My guess is that this would either be kept as is or moved to user space rather than deleted outright. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 21:13, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Dear Dave Braunschweig,

Thank you for your comment here and the welcome template on my Talk.

I have been editing the main EN Wiki plus Meta and Wiktionary for some 10 years, so I am a puzzled partial newbe user here. The stated purpose hereof is: Using Wikiversity as an academic discussion forum may help share ideas that may promote research and learning... while I have encountered false claims, public physical threats (!) and other oddities here.

See my quick edit history for a sample.

How do such pages, not edited for years, serve its lofty purpose?

Please remember I come from the wiki 5P background: strict VER, claims and counterclaims, CIVIL, etc.

 * Think of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, which it is. Great care is taken to develop and edit the content. Think of Wikiversity as a classroom. The quality of the learning experience is different for each user, and sometimes the only learning is for the benefit of the original editor, and not for anyone viewing later. That is particularly true of real-world classes and students editing as a class requirement.
 * There is also a lot of junk here. For a variety of reasons, Wikiversity had no significant oversight for several years a decade ago, and a variety of disruptive (to the quality process) community members up until recently. We clean up what we can when something comes up, but we're all volunteers here who have a primary interest in our own research and teaching efforts vs. cleaning up someone else's junk. Be bold, but focus your bold efforts on main pages, not subpages. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:55, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
