This is a very thorough introduction to gathering sources. It would be good if the distinction between secondary and primary sources were made, as well as information provided on how to find secondary sources.

Essential components of any decent journalism course.

This unit confronts some social and legal issues - how to treat sources, interviewing, trust and integrity as core elements in practicing journalism.

I like the course and the teachers. I don't like the peer review because most of the students don't work hard enough on their reviews. I do want the challenge and the feedback.
