Teaching academic integrity: Paraphrasing one pager

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:

1. strengthens writing by presenting evidence
   
2. adds credibility by citing work from other authors
3. shows that the writer understands the material
4. helps students avoid plagiarism
