"Homework Questions"

[Georgie]

I, too, have given this some thought when those homework questions come up. I think that this forum is a source of information and its use can be considered research of a sort. However, as reliable as WE know we are, from the teacher's perspective, I'd really question our credibility. There is no way to verify the credentials of those who take part in a public forum such as this. So much of what can be found on the internet is poor quality or even false information. I would hope that the student cited a good variety of sources used. On the other hand if the assignment was to take a mini survey, or get opinions on a topic, this would be a dandy place to do so.
