Default Re: Wikipedia is as accurate as Britannica.

Presumedly professors are hoping you use sources beyond Enclycopedias, online or otherwise? Don't you [censored] kids know how to read monographs anymore?

It's a question of caring

I had looked up Scientology on wikipedia before the south park show, and while we were watching it was able to give an accurate account of the "what scientologists actually believe" part before I even knew that was going to be shown.

I am just going to assume monograph is some sort of primary source. All my courses this year (3rd and 2nd year) now use journal articles as our main source. Its really cool to look at the primary sources for textbooks and encyclopedias, and it also makes it clear that a lot of "facts" in psychology and biology rest on shaky ground. The understanding in experimental methods alone makes journal articals really good to use.
