So like I said earlier, the science-related majors generally love it and liberal arts hate it.
I found this really interesting. I believe I actually said “hmmm” lol
I think this may be true. From just looking at my friends, the engineers and guys in biochem tend to use wiki as source for equations, chemical compounds, or basic information to help with their electives. Us history majors really only use it as a jumping off point and for date accuracy because we have it beat into us that Wiki is not a proper source.
Not sure how this came to be as I feel both groups need to analyze the information and come up with interpretations of the data. I think the “no wiki” rule that many teachers ascribe to are to merely make the student look at more sources to construct a better argument. (at least in history)
Also,most of my professors currently do not hate wiki. One or two themselves say that wiki is the first place they look when they need to check something. So maybe its a random thing, not a classified by major thing.
HA MAJOR THING MAJORMAJORMAJOR
