Paraphrase or Plagiarism: A Learning Guide
Understand how to use sources properly.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Teach me the difference between quoting, paraphrasing, summarising and copying. My level and discipline: [LEVEL_DISCIPLINE]. A passage from a source and my attempt to paraphrase it: [PASSAGE_ATTEMPT]. My institution's rules, if I know them: [INSTITUTION_RULES]. Explain each technique with a short example, then analyse my attempt: does it change structure and wording, keep the meaning, and cite the source? Rewrite it properly and show what changed. Provide a checklist for avoiding accidental plagiarism, tips for note-taking that keeps source and own thoughts separate, and guidance on when to use direct quotations. Make clear that rules vary and that I should follow my institution's academic integrity policy [VERIFY] and ask my tutor if unsure. Do not help with disguising copied text. Also add a short practice exercise with an invented passage, three attempts of varying quality, and my task to rank them and explain why, followed by the answers. Include a note on common-knowledge facts and on citing ideas, not only wording.
