In this course, you are likely (and encouraged) to use the web as a source of information. However, just as the Internet is a wonderful source, it also has some pitfalls associated with it. With this document, I want to point out a few facts and give some references to more information that you may use in preparing the assignments.
In your professional life you are likely to face tasks similar to the ones assigned in this course (at least to the point where you need to use the web to search out some facts). It is my hope that the pointers in here may help you also later on. If you make mistakes in class you may receive a low grade on an assignment– in the real world you may lose your job.
