Anne (and others)

Have you noticed (as I have--lately it seems) a rash of students
downloading the first three (or five or ten...) things they get off
of a yahoo (or other) search and using them as sources?  No matter
how hard I try, I can't seem to convience people that the Web is far
less trustworthy--I had a student base a whole argument on some
information she got from Dixienet -- which turns out to be a front
for the United Klans of America or some such organization....no bias
there, right?
