Muddiest Points

I suppose my muddiest point was the muddiest point. Somehow, I thought we only needed to post a muddiest point if we had trouble with something some week. So my question is, is the muddiest point just an extra post we make weekly concerning something we didn't quite understand in class?

Also, I was slightly confused about how we consider one of the common characteristics of information to be "true." How are we determining what is "true."? Isn't truth just a matter of opinion?

You're right in your assumption. The muddiest point is an entry to our blog that should be submitted weekly about any question we might have about what was covered in class, or just comments/ideas for the professor. (At least this was my understanding through all the other confusion about homework due dates etc etc...)

As for information being "true"...I agree with you. Unless it can be proven as fact, I feel that truth is an opinion and I'm not sure that all information is just facts. I suppose there's someone out there far more qualified than you or I who makes these decisions? Or quite possibly if you look at the type of information that is out there...a lot of it is opinionated and simply "true" to the creators of the info.
