ASSIGNMENT

What does it mean when an article is “peer-reviewed” or “academic?” Sometimes, this type of article is also called “scholarly” or “refereed.”

Why is that type of article valued in college writing?

To answer that question in a brief paragraph (four to seven sentences), you can look at the textbook in the section entitled “Using Sources” that begins on page 242. On page 249, there is a discussion of Finding Sources. The chart on page 250 is also helpful.
