Class Notes
Listen up, Dream Team! This is where all permanent notes will be held (things that aren't included in the "most recent" section on the notes index page and so won't be moved to the DT Blog). Remember, these are notes directly from our classes! All you have to do is highlight, right-click, and print the selection to get the notes you want to study. Or you can just read them online if you want... okay?

| | Good credentials include: | - reputation (is the source in a standing of good repute?)
- affiliations (does the source have connections to a reputable institution or project?)

- Correct Field (if the source is highly trained, is it in a field related to the subject being discussed?)
| | Authority includes: | - Being an expert on the subject of discussion

- clear language
