Most students use Wikipedia, avoid telling profs about it.
By Jacqui Cheng.
Surprise! Most students use Wikipedia at some point during their
research on a paper or project, and they usually do so early on in the
process. Online peer-reviewed journal First Monday recently published
the
Cybernetic Serendipity.
Cybernetic Serendipity was an exhibition of computer art curated by
Jasia Reichardt, shown at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London in
1968, and then touring the United States.
One part of the exhibition was concerned with algorithms and devices for
generating
if this is really true the profs need to wise-up.
Wikipedia is a great first stop for research allowing students to do a
proper broad sweep to find their subject.
Its also a useful tool for reflecting on the ways in which knowledge is
constructed (demonstrating concepts such as hierarchies of
I think most Profs are fully aware that students use Wikipedia.
I would hazard a guess (in fact I wouldn't I know for a fact) that lot
of the material on there is contributed by profs :)
I think we need to be careful about stereotyping here..

Hi all
The ³profs² are in the loop on this and most institutions have a policy on
Wikipedia use. Generally it is treated the same as publications like the
Encyclopaedia Britannica. These are publications where the author of the
work is difficult or not possible to determine. As academic
Tom is totally right. However, whilst a good proportion of Wikipedia will be
authored by academics they will not use it as a reference. The same is true
of the encyclopaedias, many of which are authored and/or edited by the top
experts in the field. However, as the author¹s identity is left

I agree with Simon, for academic purposes you of course need a more substantial
source than an encylopedia to substantiate any argument or hypothesis you are
going to make.
This isn't to do down wikipedia which is an amazing project and an invaluable
tool to get you going on research projects
Wikipedia is terrific. I use it all the time but only for a quick check of
something. Not for information I would cite.

Oh Gawd! I wasn't suggesting Wikipedia as the sole source of
research-that would be daft-just that it provides a really good starting
point. I think it gives students more autonomy in finding their subject
as they can circle a subject more easily to find the thing that they are
really interested
i recently attempted to put an article about an important contemporary
artist on wikipedia. it was repeatedly deleted by 'bearcat'. he said the
artist wasn't notable enough to merit inclusion in wikipedia. i cited
articles about him in the guardian and nytimes, and books in which his work
is

Actually many academics do spend substantial amounts of time contributing to
Wikipedia and have done since its inception. Wikipedia is also of course a
great knowledge transfer tool. Like all encyclopedias it offers a very good
general overview of diverse subject areas and has great reach.
