No information source is error proof and unfortunately a lot of educators forget that when they advise their students to trust everything in the textbook and ignore everything else. The problem is that there is no easy mechanism for fixing errors I find in textbooks or peer reviewed papers (where recently we found erroneous NMR data). But last week, helping my students with an organic chemistry assignment, we found an omission in Wikipedia that we were able to <A HREF="http://drexel-coas-elearning.blogspot.com/2006/11/more-constructivist-chemistry.html" REL="nofollow">update quite easily</A>.Jean-Claude Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157209601339686455noreply@blogger.com
