Honors Writing: Scholarly vs. Popular

Introduction

In many of the papers you'll be assigned throughout your academic career, a sticking point with many of them will be the necessity of scholarly or academic works as references.  On this page you'll find descriptions of what that means, how to find them, and how to tell if what you have is scholarly or not. 

As an added bonus, the contents of this particular page are all movies.  So sit back and relax and we'll do the rest.
