Textbook vs. Wikipedia

I think both the textbook and Wikipedia are useful resources for what we're studying, but they both have their pros and cons. Wikipedia is much easier to navigate, I think, and is good if you have something specific to find about the topic. On the other hand, there is that never ending debate about how valid the information on there is. The textbook is a little harder to break into sections than Wikipedia, and no offense Mr. Whitten, but reading it makes my eyes glaze over. But it's good for getting a good look at the topic in general, and all the basic knowledge you need to know about it. It also has a lot more pictures, and things like charts and maps.
So as we go section to section, I would probably prefer using the textbook, to make sure I have the basis of everything down correctly. But I like using Wikipedia for looking up specific facts or a summary of something.
