Hi Melissa! Thank you for sharing! I really like your writing style – it is clear and engaging. It is true, there is so much misinformation out there so it is very important to ensure students are aware of this. I am happy that UVIC, especially in my major (Psychology), puts such an emphasis on using and relying on peer-reviewed research articles, as it is so easy to be captured by an engaging TikTok video, like you mentioned. You also made such a great point that people tend to be more ruthless in what they say online if they are anonymous. These hurtful comments can lead to long-term, irreversible consequences for some. Great selection for your feature picture as it is bright and eye-catching! However, perhaps a list or a table could be used to organize information and to break up the paragraphs? Other than that, I really enjoyed reading your post.
