Distinguishing paraphrase from original analysis
A student restates a source’s explanation in new wording and then offers a separate interpretation. What is the appropriate approach?
A
Cite the paraphrased explanation and clearly distinguish the student’s interpretation from the source’s claim.
B
Cite only direct quotations because new wording makes the ideas original.
C
Attribute the student’s interpretation to the source without checking it.
D
Avoid all citations so the writing appears more independent.
