<p>That contrasts with my undergrad days when it was common for Profs to restrict or even bar the use of online sources because the web wasn’t very mature and most of the material online wasn’t sufficiently vetted by peer preview, publishers, etc. </p>
<p>One lit Prof I had even had a policy of an automatic F spelled out on the syllabus if the student used/cited any online source for a paper.</p>

Doing so would have never been tolerated in my school days…whether undergrad or before because citing encyclopedia articles as sources with an extreme few exceptional allowable circumstances was absolutely verboten.</p>
