Christopher Columbus was not the first European to visit America. Several hundred years before Columbus, Vikings established a colony in North America. A viking sea captain named Leif Ericson was probably the first European to land in the New World. He spent the winter in a place he called Vinland. Although there is no positive proof, most archaeologists think tha Vinland was on the island of Newfoundland.


What's the 1 mistake in it?

My wife home schools our boys based on "The Well Trained Mind" - basically, classical education. However, she finds herself fighting with them more than teaching them, and I was wondering if anyone had found some resource(s) that offers some different learning activities. Presently covering approx 2nd-3rd grade material. My hope is that we might engage the boys interests so that they want to learn as opposed to viewing it as a chore to get Mommy off their case!

I am an undergrad student studying mechanical engineering, and have to write reports on a regularly.

I have come under allot of criticism concerning my sources of research. I am a hardcore fan of traditional, encyclopedias, but they do not stay up to speed with technology or current events, which is what most of my papers are on.

Recently by recommendation of one of my professors they advised www.wikipedia.org for information on current events/technology.
Since then I have come under scrutiny from a couple of other professors for using wikipedia as a source. They claimed "it is entirely subjective". But isn’t that the case with anything that is published? It is subjective to the writer? I still use wikipedia to do a considerable amount of research, but I never directly list them as a source. I personally don’t care for it, but I don’t get my paper handed back to me with comments about my research.

Any teachers out there have opinions on accepting wikipedia as a valid source?

When we are fed up with someone, or wish to punish them *by not talking to them*, we say we are 'Sending them to Coventry.'

Why ?

I read up on Liberal Arts and I wonder, How advanced can you study? Can you take calculus, Physics, and Chemistry. Just broadly learn that then later focus on a narrower degree? I am going to be in the Navy and Liberal Arts I can take online. I just want to learn while in there, so I don't get rusty. Can you take high courses just not specialize? I don't want to be stuck doing basic algebra again.

I plan to do my senior on something dealing with meteorology. I had planned on doing it on the advancements in meteorology but it seems to broad and i probably need to have one thing to focus on. I have to have a portfolio, a board, a research paper and a product. Can someone help me to narrow down the topic?
