So I'm currently studying for finals, and I just got done going through my two history books, basically re-reading, and re-organizing the ID's into what are basically short paragraphs I can read over the next few days to re-inforce key points from each area without digging through notes or books (kinda like flash cards, but on my computer).
So I finish up the ID sheet, and decide, "hmmmmm... If I Wiki this stuff, not only will I have other summaries to compare them too, but I could also pick up extra to use in my essays and maybe look smarter than I actually am!"
So I start checkin' things out and holy ... I never knew Wiki was really this well done! For the most part, my summaries reflected main points, but the linking in the Wiki pages really helped me understand the connections between events, people, and ideas a ton better.
I'm certainly not solely relying on Wiki information, but damn, I went through a whole semester without seeing a lot of the connections between certain events (i.e. War for Austrian Succession/7 Years War issues, and a better understanding of changing political alliances in the 17, 18, and 19th centuries) to the point where I'm really feeling quite confident about this exam...
Wikipedia, FTW....
Edit: And I also find it entertaining to just Wiki random and see what they have on it... :stongue: |

but you should always check out with it... |
Do you mean verify the information? If so, agreed,
I've double or triple sourced everything I've gone over, and everything I've added to my notes. |

I used wiki for almost all my research papers, makes life so much easier .. and the linking is awesome.
I used it for my ancient greek history class, all battles and poets , authors, everything was there. I actually studied off it for my archeology class .. didnt even bother buying the book.
