Steps for Paraphrasing
Adapted from the Purdue Online Writing Lab's Guide to Paraphrasing.
Note that this video says 2/3 of the words should be your words (paraphrasing) and no more than 1/3 should be the author's words (direct quotations.) In some fields like science and social sciences, even less than 1/3 should be in the author's words. Direct quotations should be used sparingly and only when you have a good reason to use the exact words of the author (for example, they are uniquely descriptive.)
This tutorial from the University of Southern Mississippi has a pre-quiz, tutorial, and post quiz about plagiarism. The first question asks for your university status. Select Other and enter college student in the text field.
When you start the post quiz, you will be asked for your name and university status. Your name is for the completion certificate. Use Other and enter college student again here.
