I've always enjoyed blogging. About personal issues, political issues, or just intersting tidbits I've come across. I always knew that there was a wealth of information and resources online, but professors tend to discourage it, saying that these aren't credible. Go to the library. Search the databases (if they're REALLY into modern research). But google searches don't work.
This class has proved them wrong.
Not only have I found scholarly material online through google searches, but I've found a wealth of it. The only problem that I have run into is finding "credible" sources for transpersonally oriented material. In this case, professors tend to think that there is too much material that is "New Agey." For a popular emerging field, I find it hard to believe that this new age material can't be used as scholarly sources; and because it is really developing in an web-oriented society, I'm willing to bet that a fair percentage of emerging material will not be found within the walls of libraries, but on the net.
The founders have yet to admit this.
