I had one professor who used Wikipedia as our textbook, but it was a history class, and he read the articles to make sure they were accurate (enough).Quoth Pixilated View PostI've had teachers who have absolutely forbade its use, others who say it's a great starting point and one last year who seemed to think Wikipedia hangs the moon.The High Priest is an Illusion!
