Topic 5- "Why I hate Wikipedia"

Lecture:
The main topic of discussion for the lecture held on Wednesday was ‘Wikipedia’ and the truth involved. Wikipedia, an internet source is best known for being able to be edited by any user on the internet on any topic. Lecturer Stephen Stockwell raised the issue of how much is true on the Wikipedia website and how much can be trusted from the ever growing website.
The lecture notes raised points about the movie “The Matrix” and where and how do you draw the line between the real world and the virtual reality world. It raised points about the 19th and 20th century and how it is becoming an ever blurred line between what’s real and what’s not.

Tutorial:
The tutorial started off this week with the discussion of the lecture and how much truth there is on Wikipedia. The class decided that Wikipedia has its pros and cons, it is a simple source of information that can be read but as an academic source it is not reliable and probably shouldn’t be used as a source at an university level.
The second half of the tutorial consisted of completing the tutorial task and discussing with the tutor our topics for the essay and our basic structure and view on the topic.
