One or two students in literature courses at the University of Pennsylvania perhaps use Wikepida. But it would usually be obvious because of the long take home questions in German lit in English translation courses.
-
What did you teach in college? A subject without much Wikepida traffic, right?

No. Why would a history professor, or any other college professor, explain in so much detail? The lectures, readings and recitations are carefully planned. I mentioned earlier that I did research in 17th and 18th century European history in French. Because it was the diplomatic language for the Australians as well as the French.

Most students are serious. Remember I audited history, literature and political science courses at the the University of Pennsylvania until four years ago. And I did all the reading assignments as well. I talked to the students a lot.. History professors warn students to not use Wikepida

History students often do research in French because it was the diplomatic language at one point. I suppose Wikipedia may function as a first read on history, but that's it. Students are rather good at finding primary sources on their own, before Wikipedia.
