Thanks for the links, KLP. Those aren't bad at all.
Raymond Williams and Clifford Geertz are very respectable figures so they should be carefully read.
That website comes from wsu.edu. I don't recognize the university acronym, perhaps it's Washington State University.
The authors of the first page linked are:
Eric Miraglia, Dept. of English/Student Advising and Learning Center Dr. Richard Law, Director, General Education Peg Collins, Information Technology, Learning Systems Group
Probably Richard Law is the person most responsible, though it's not certain.
As far as using the web for these purposes, might I counsel caution. Once you get a hit, check the sources carefully. See if there is any way you can verify their credibility, credentials, something. There is a lot, as I'm certain you already know, of very weird stuff out there that passes for authority. |
