Useful websites for determining the reliability of a source

Hello everyone,

Further to what we were working on in our lesson today, here are some more useful university websites to help you understand determining the reliability of a source.  There are also a few practice exercises in the first link if you would like extra practice.

Online Discussion #2

Hello everyone,

This week's online discussion will be on the following topic:

Should junk food be banned from schools? 

Everyone should write an original opinion and respond to the idea of at least one other student.  Think also of the different perspectives of the people that might be affected by this decision.

All opinions should be included as comments to this post and should be completed by the end of the week.

So, who will lead this week's discussion to be summarized in class next Monday?

Hi everyone,

Hope you are enjoying the weekend!  I have work for us to do tomorrow, so you don't need to bring your books.

See you all in the morning!

Welcome!

To all students in my Pre-Master's class, I wish you a warm welcome to this blog site!

This class is designed to prepare you for a master's degree at the University of Sussex and all of the challenges you will face.  I have set up a blog for our class to help us communicate and provide the opportunity for you to post ideas, homework, ask questions, and even have discussions!  This blog will be an important tool for you to participate in class activities and stay connected to the other students and your teacher (me!).

I encourage you to use this blog as much as possible to participate in class and improve your chances of success at the University of Sussex.

I am sure that this will be an exciting term for all of us and I wish you the best of luck!
