The difference between my mother's and my feet reminds me of the incredible
history we know between us like living book worms.
We stand like centuries, at either side of a vast gulf.
So it's poetic, that's one reason you would directly quote.
When the original was spoken or written by a famous person,
Edison, Lincoln, John F Kennedy, Gandhi, Socrates,
and is generally recognized as a famous saying.
For example, we will never try to paraphrase the beginning of Lincoln's
famous Gettysburg Address.
Which I don't need to quote for you, but
most of the time people do not paraphrase Lincoln's speeches.
Or Obama's speeches, they pretty much just make a quote of what he said.
All right, paraphrases.
Daphne, can you read using paraphrases?
[INAUDIBLE] Academic culture,
writing someone else ideas or
words as if your own without
acknowledging the origin
is called plagiarism.
And is considered very dishonorable behavior.
>> Which we've talked about before, plagiarism.
As a Master student and PHD student, I pretty much paraphrase everything.
The only time I quote is when there's like small phrases that there's no words
for it.
And so pretty much all of my research is paraphrased.
And I don't remember the last time I actually quoted something.
It's been a long time.
Documenting sources, what we've talked about before.
In addition to paraphrasing, all, almost all pieces of evidence you plan to
use you will need to document from the original author.
It let's the reader know that you are presenting the information from
another person.
Referring to the original author helps to establish your honesty, reliability and
expected for academic writing in the US.
So, you're showing your credibility as an author from the sources that you
are putting into your writing.
Okay?
So you're not just showing the credible person who you did the research from is
but showing that you as a writer also credible.
When you state the source and you paraphrase the source.
And you pick, not the correct evidence, but
the connecting evidence that actually shows what you're trying to say.
Introducing evidence.
The other Muhammad.
