A student should avoid the following two types of sources when writing a research paper:
1. **A personal fan site** - These sites are often not reliable as they may reflect personal opinions rather than verified information.
2. **A wiki website** - While wikis can be useful for getting a general overview of a topic, they can be edited by anyone and may not always be accurate or trustworthy.
The other options (a national newspaper, a print encyclopedia, a published book, and a government website) are generally more credible sources for research.
