Using sources in assignment Writing assignments involves bringing together two sources of ideas: ➔ ➔ The ideas of others - discovered in their research process and readings Your own ideas - formed through critical thinking in the research and reading processes; also, influenced by what you have read/seen/watched …

Using others’ ideas When you use others’ ideas, you can: ➔ Quote use the writer’s actual words, which requires the least input from you ➔ Paraphrase rewrite the writer’s ideas in your own words, which requires more thinking on your part ➔ Summarise rewrite the writer’s ideas in your own words in a shorter form, which achieves the best balance of your thinking and others’ ideas.

Quotes vs Paraphrase vs Summarise You should summarise much more than you paraphrase or quote because when you summarise, you show that you can: ➔ Understand others’ ideas ➔ Synthesise and connect those ideas in order to support your argument

Quoting To quote correctly: ➔ Use quotation marks ➔ Copy the exact words ➔ Give reference details, including the page/paragraph number

Paraphrasing To paraphrase correctly: ➔ Keep the meaning of the original text ➔ Keep the key words ➔ Change most of the words ➔ Change the word order/order of information ➔ Give reference details

Summarising To summarise correctly: ➔ Keep the authors’ main ideas ➔ Avoid quoting the authors’ words ➔ Make it clear which ideas are yours, and which are the authors’ ➔ Give reference details
