Some students do not fully understand the difference between plagiarism and paraphrasing.
Paraphrasing is when you take a source or someone else’s idea and say it in your own words.
When you paraphrase, you must still give the author’s name, date, the title of the source, the
scholarly journal from where it came, and the exact website address or book from where it came.
However, when you directly quote a source, it must have quotation marks around the quote, or
(if 40 words or more) it must be set in block-quotation format. Give detailed information of
where you acquired the quote.
