Wikipedia

Socratic Questioning Wiki

--This particular article does have a banner. The banner says that it should be merged with Socratic method
--This article doesn't have many issues.
--In only one spot is there a need for an extra citation.
--This article doesn't give much of an idea of where this teaching style came from, but the name should say it all. The link to Socrates is in the middle of the page, which makes it hard to understand the flow of the article.
--The resources seem to be credible.
--The topic is just one theory so it is understandable that it isn't a large page. Though this is true, it does provide links to Socrates and implementations for this theory.
--I do wish that it gave links to alternate styles of teaching. 
--My main complaint is that it seems to jump around the subject frantically.


I don't really use Wikipedia for anything myself, but i do see where it can be useful. To better understand the idea, Wiki links the page to many others that effected it. students may not be able to use this as a source in anything, but it can help lead them in the right direction.
