Students of University of Michigan have influenced this course based on the anti-media tagline created by soon to be president, Donald Trump. Their library has teamed up with the College of Literature, Sciences and Art department to make a class on fake news. The name of this class is "Fake News, Lies and Propaganda: How to Sort Fact from Fiction", according to CBC News. One of the founders is Doreen Bradley, who has discovered that students have a hard time sorting fact from fiction when it comes to articles. According to Bradley, the course was created to teach students to double check before confirming anything.
The course Itself will begin with defining fake news. After the course has finished, the hope for the class is to make sure that students will trust the source. Bradley told CBC News that "There is no right, there is no wrong, everyone just comes out with a different perspective and its important for students to recognize what the perspective is of what they're reading." The library director already knows that the education of a university should always have students learn about critical thinking. That is why the librarians enforce this class, They want the students to have the critical thinking knowledge.
