I think Wikipedia is a good resources of information because it has a lot of content in various areas. However, it may not be very reliable. I believe it helps us to learn new things more quickly in class, but it is not formal to be used for assignments.

I think Wikipedia is a great way to get information, although anyone can edit the content. The positive aspect of using Wikipedia in assignments is that this website can provide most of the necessary information, while the negative aspect is that the information on Wikipedia might be unreliable or false, and we cannot distinguish between them.

Wikipedia is sometimes good source, but not always. Good thing is it have many information and easy to read. But bad thing is anyone can change it, so maybe some part is wrong. For classwork, it good for start, but better check other sources too.
