If your professor has told you what sources you need (aka: 1 book source, 3 popular articles, 1 scholarly article), click to the next section.
If you are allowed to choose your own sources, consider the following:
- Books tend to have more general information, more background information, and to be written for a general audience
- Scholarly articles tend to be written with up-to-the minute information for an expert audience, and focused on a very narrow topic.
- Magazine articles tend to be written for a general audience, up-to-date, and broad in covering ideas.
