1) have students increase their understanding of the concept of Protecting Personal Information (PPI) and other ethical issues related to the use of information technology through research, and

2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research paper, including use of available References and citation tools.

These skills will be valuable throughout a student's academic career.

Wikipedia and similar general information sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project.
