The wonderful world of students, part 482834



After I recently banned Wikipedia use in one of my research courses
(never expecting a college student to actually use it in a research
course, you see -- I'm going to have to start stating it in the
syllabus, just to make sure), one of my students sent this to me
anonymously over email:

"that is an absolute shame! It figures that our wonderful government,
once
something actually works and makes sense, deem it not so. I love
wikipedia!
I like facts, so many people deal with half truths and gossip and
false
truths that is no wonder why our country is at war. It is a gathering
place
for wonderful information, moreso then any doctor, PhD holder, and all
of
them grouped together. Why is it wrong to use information from this
website
wrong to do. I feel, that any scholar who upturns their nose to this
is
arrogant enough to retire."

My side still hurts from laughing. I really wish I knew who it was who
had sent this to me.
