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.
