SparkNotes
|
SparkNotes is an internet-based youth-oriented education product. December 2002 SparkNotes, with millions of registered users (as of Jan 2005 around 10 million) became the most popular stand-alone education site on the Internet. Originally a collection of free online study guides for books and associated message board services, current owner Barnes & Noble now markets printed versions of the guides in the United States in a format similar to that of CliffsNotes, which Barnes & Noble no longer sells. The website also offers several pay-per-use premium services related to SAT tests that enjoyed great popularity in their non-pay-per-use days. Like CliffsNotes, SparkNotes is banned in several schools because of a perceived cheating problem, wheras some students circumvent lengthy reading assignments by reading the SparkNotes instead.
Recently, Sparknotes has expanded their base and has started to include more study guides. Some of the newer guides are on film and a new college guide.
This website has exhibited marked expansion, beginning as solely literary guides and now a multi-faceted enterprise which includes College Admissions Aid and AP test prep even in the form of crossword puzzles.
Projected to expand even moreso within the next few years, Sparknotes has become an emblem of the recent college-oriented counterculture around the country, and now even outstretches study guides, encompassing a section on their website known as SparkLife, where things anywhere from The OC to student's AP class load are discussed.
Started in 1999, the website began as a dating website called www.thespark.com, but when they began posting study guides for such classic literature such as Pride and Prejudice, it began to expand.

Opinions: Take a liberal arts class, help save the world
State Press - Oct 09 1:28 AM Liberal arts survey classes stink. It's not only that lower-level classes are taught by the semiqualified and attended by people who'd rather not be there. The true disaster is that many students are fooled into believing that introductory classes accurately represent their respective disciplines.
