These links
are intended to help students with homework. We've searched the Web
for sites that offer reference materials, background information, famous
works and other information that we think will be useful in preparing
reports or completing homework assignments. We've checked each link
included here to make sure it is appropriate, but most of the destination
pages include links that lead elsewhere, and things can change over
time. If you find something inappropriate, please let us know. And if
you know of another useful site that we should include here, tell us!
