I hear so much about biased opinions, political agendas, etc. I often get to where I don't know what to believe. That's why I'm really interested in this course. I was hoping it might give me some tools to help me sort through the information out there in the hopes of recogizing real science when I see it...something I can sink my teeth into. Right now I don't even know for sure that governemnt web sites might not be biased. And it seems like there would be at least a few some sites outside government that want the truth (true science), for example some universities maybe. Up to now I've been trying to do my homework by reading as much as I can find out and have time for. Maybe this course will give me some good insight.
