However, I do think that requiring three sources for confirmation is advisable in some cases, not necessary in many. That said, I do personally think its useful when automated e-learning tools provide references and links to resources, including those that offer a different perspective on the subject at hand. - Amy Gahran Editor, CONTENTIOUS I’m not sure what kind of information your referring to in the previous comment (below).

If not offered more sources by your instructor go to a paper library and look 'em up. It will make you very cynical but less likely to make a fool of yourself.
