Is this a better resource than, say, dictionary.com or Google?

Oh, heck yeah. The Oxford English Dictionary is one of the most widely respected dictionaries in the world. If you are looking for a reliable definition to use in your assignment (and you want to look smart) the OED is one of the best sources to use.
