Welcome 2006

Welcome to my Academic writing class. You should look at the entry before this one, dated January 2006. You will get notes and classroom assignment information here - so check in at least once a week, it is your responsiblity to do so! Research is the basic part of any academic writing. Please read this introduction to a long article at Canadian Broadcasting on the truth about what you research by the famous Canadian Cory Doctorow:
Truth and the Net
By Cory Doctorow

Trusting what you read on the internet is a dangerous prospect, but it beats the alternative. At least on the internet, you get to choose your bias.
You can't trust what you read online. You can't trust what you read in the paper. You can't trust what you see on TV, or hear on the radio. You can't trust what your friend swears her brother's girlfriend said is true.
You can't trust anything – not with the gospel, bet-your-life trust that you reserve for things like gravity and death and your family.
You never could.
