Paraphasing

 In writing, sometimes we put information from other sources of information to support our statement or writing. In paraphasing, partially we take another sources and rewrite in own words....

The things that we should alert are make sure our paraphrase are similar meaning as the original and doing citation for it.

Sometimes, student take it as easy as they thought which is they just take the other sources without doing citation. Actually, it is bad attitude that we shouldn't follow because students need to being responsible on whatever they doing especially in their writing.

However, still have a few students doing paraphase in wrong method. For example, they make big change until changes the original meaning of the text.

Therefore, very important for us as a student to learn how to do paraphase properly.

Documenting Evidences

Everything we do, should be in appropriate ethic and value, it include when we want to take information from someone's else. Therefore, one of the method to acknowledge person's idea, words and ideas are by documentation. The main function is as credit from us for them that we using their ideas. So, we need prove it by doing citing which composed of three styles;

1) The MLA (Modern Languange Association)
2)The APA (American Psychological Association)
3)The CBE (Council of Biology Editors)

Everything we do must have reason behind it, some goes for documenting sources. The reasons are to avoid plagiarism and make sure the reader know where they can get that particular information.

In APA-style citation, there are two parts which is an in text-citation and an entry in an alphabetical list of references.

Sourcing Material

      As a students, before we do the assignments, research and lab report, we always search many information from many sources. It crucial for us to get the specific information from many sources because we can choose the point that important and suitable to put in our task. Basically, there are three types of information can be classified which is
1)single fact information
2)general information
3)in-depth information

     As a new generation, we can save our time to get information instead spending time in library to obtain information from the books. The very easier for us to get information right now is from internet. By only using one finger, we can access to many website, journal, magazine online, thesis and so on.

However, make sure we know who wrote it and who publishes it so that the information that we take are valid and right to be as a references.

In conclusion, we must know to choose a good sources to be as a references and it is good for us to read from many sources to get a new information that we dont know before...
