College students are bombarded by misinformation, so this professor taught them fact-checking 101 − here’s what happened
College students aren’t just wrestling with midterms and essays anymore—they’re up against a flood of misinformation delivered through the very apps they use most. At Georgia State University, one professor decided that ignoring this reality was no longer an option. By weaving short, fact-checking modules into a massive American Government course, instructors gave students the tools to question viral claims and shady sources. The results? Stronger critical thinking, sharper digital literacy, and a reminder that even small steps can strengthen democracy.
