Week 8


There are three levels to integrate a text from a source. The first level is quoting, the second level is paraphrasing and the last level is summarizing.

Summarizing




When we are summarizing, we put the main idea in our own word which include only the main point. We do not need to use quotation mark during summarizing, instead, use our own word, state only the most important idea or fact and used as few word as possible. We also have to attribute it to the original source.

Paraphrasing



Paraphrasing also involves putting a passage from source material in your own words. It can be shorter than the original passage but can also be the same length as the original passage. However, you have to site the source and the date, and do not use quotation mark during paraphrasing. 

Quoting

On the other hand, you can also quote the original passage where you can use the author’s word exactly. You have to use quotation mark for less than 40 words. There are some format that you may need to follow in order for you to quote the information. For example, give the year of publication in parentheses after the writer’s name and the page number at the end of the quotation, or the writer's name, year of publication, page number in parentheses at the end of the quotation. Don’t forget to put a period after the parentheses.
