Academic sources are books by experts, academic journals, research papers and things like that. There are a few reasons why instructors tend to prefer academic sources. The information is more likely to be accurate and the sources have been verified than others. They are also likely to be more detailed in their coverage of the subject as they are intended for readers familiar with it. Reflections, literary reviews and such could use non academic sources. News papers, fiction books, and standard websites are examples of non academic sources.
