The quote marked as "citation needed" reminds me remarkably of what my Biology teacher said in a class back in 2002. I don't remember writing it here, but perhaps another student in the class did. Her last name was (or most likely, still is) Mrs. Webber, if anybody wants to put the quote to her name as "unpublished lecture notes" or something. However, I very much doubt that was word for word what she said back in 2002. |

This article needs work
No offense intended, but it reads like it was written by some kid who is annoyed at the assignments his teacher gives him, and thinks it's all pointless. There aren't enough citations here to justify most of the text. Honestly, I think it could be reduced to a simple definition, in which case, the article delted or referred to Wiktionary. Thoughts?

Crossword example
- the method of a crossword puzzle is unlikely to help students appreciate and comprehend vocabulary words
What's the source for this? "Unlikely" should be referenced to a research study or at the very least attributed to someone. And if that should prove impossible, I'm sure there are many better examples of this phenomenon than crosswords. -- Jao 09:29, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. A word search is a better example, since most crosswords don't give you the word, but rather a hint or definition of it for you to try to remember it on your own.
- Agreed. Crosswords can have an educational value, while word searches or sudoku can be completed by method if given enough time. - Plasticbadge 19:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
The unquoted quote
The quote marked as "citation needed" reminds me remarkably of what my Biology teacher said in a class back in 2002. I don't remember writing it here, but perhaps another student in the class did. Her last name was (or most likely, still is) Mrs. Webber, if anybody wants to put the quote to her name as "unpublished lecture notes" or something. However, I very much doubt that was word for word what she said back in 2002.
- Apparently, it did have a source when it was added[1] but the was taken off, probably because it doesn't work anymore.--190.78.55.136 (talk) 03:12, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
