Nice work, Gail! This should be a great outreach tool. What kind of audiences have you been using it on so far, and what are their responses?

I have posted a link to this on TOD previously, and I have had quite a few readers on my site - I would guess about 4,000. It has also been copied on at least two other sites.

I am not sure of the extent to which it has been used as curriculum. I know one professor specifically told me he was using it in his creative writing course.

That sounds like me, but it's actually College Writing, not Creative Writing.

This is an essay-writing course. Students have to learn to use and cite sources. The final project concerns peak oil. I use Gail's quiz to underline how little students really know about energy.
