Prefer sth rather than...

Hello! Could you please tell me if the sentence below is correct?

"Students prefer using the Internet rather than other source of research materials"
  

Top answer

No. "rather" is normally redundant in combination with "prefer". I'd probably write Students prefer using the Internet to other methods of finding information.

Not correct. Use 'another source' or 'other sources'.
