Students and Wikipedia<br />
Body Level 1<br />
• Far more students, than not, used Wikipedia.<br />
• Called Wikipedia “my p<strong>research</strong> tool.”<br />
• As one student put it, Wikipedia <strong>is</strong> ideal for big–picture<br />
background “in good Engl<strong>is</strong>h” and “putting me in my comfort<br />
zone” before moving on to more serious <strong>research</strong><br />
• Most students also said <strong>the</strong>y do not tell <strong>the</strong>ir professors <strong>the</strong>y use<br />
Wikipedia; <strong>the</strong>y simply avoid citing it in <strong>the</strong>ir reports.
