Teaching academic integrity: Paraphrasing one pager

Accurately paraphrasing and citing sources helps students avoid plagiarism.

Accurately paraphrasing and citing sources helps students avoid plagiarism. Instead of copying text from a source, paraphrasing allows students to ethically share and incorporate ideas from other sources into their writing. Paraphrasing:

  • strengthens writing by presenting evidence
  • adds credibility by citing work from other authors
  • shows that the writer understands the material
  • helps students avoid plagiarism
