Quality of Information: There is a lot of argument as to whether Wikipedia is reliable or not. Please investigate this by comparing Wikipedia with Encyclopedia Britannica. Choose 4 different topics: * A historical topic * A geography topic * A science topic * A film industry topic Assess the quality of information from each source for each of your topics. Refer to the ICT theory section of the course on 'what makes good information?' What Characteristics does information have to have to be good information? Also, research other articles that have been written that compare Wikipedia withe Encyclopedia Britannica. What conclusions do you draw from both your research and the research findings that are available on the internet? 1000words max This is the question set to me, i'm having trouble myself. Just wondering whether i could a few ideas set to me. hope thats OK. im not looking for an Essay, just a few pointers. thanks, Chris (more...)

For my sophomore honors English class i need to find a substantial biographical entry on George Orwell. My teacher put: "It needs to be a source such as The Dictionary of Literary Biography or another specialized English resource, but I will obviously allow you to use any legitimate, authoritative source. Avoid generalized encyclopedias (i.e. Britannica, encyclopedia.com, etc.) You may also use online databases and sites such as the Internet Public Library." Sorry my teacher uses big words. Anyways, I already tried to use The Dictionary of Literary Biography and the Internet Public Library, but I can't get in to see anything on George Orwell. I'm trying to do a report on Animal Farm but I need information. And I can't aloud to use things like Wikipedia or encyclopedia.com or anything. It's due tomorrow (10/6) so a direct link or anything would be extremely helpful!! Thank you in advance. ? Yes, his full name was Eric Arthur Blair. But I need to know things such as the 2 most significant development/occurrences in his life and why, the literary genre he writes withing, whether he's a modernist, post-modernist, or post-colonialist, and how Animal Farm "fits it" to George Orwell's larger body of work.
