9 Types of Plagiarism - patchwork
Creating a patch-work essay bringing together paragraphs and ideas taken from different sources. Although research was required to find the paragraphs and ideas, your analysis or discussion of those ideas is missing. Even if sources are cited, then what you have is research notes rather than your own essay.

10 Why might you paraphrase?
Paraphrasing Translating technical material into simpler language. Paraphrasing because a lecturer/tutor has explicitly requested that you do so. “Translating” a poem into simpler language. Why might you paraphrase?

18 Harvard – short quotations
These should be worked in with the rest of your sentence and marked off with double quotation marks According to Bartan “the opening of the speech was rather ineffectual, resulting in a poor response from the audience” (2010, p. 300) .

19 Harvard – long quotations
Block or large quotation Quotes longer than one sentence should be indented – a line should be left at the beginning and end of the quote to separate it from the rest of the text. The quote should appear in a smaller font than the rest of the essay. The page numbers should be given at the end of the quote. Example Pattell et al. (1998) highlight the unnecessary nature of the violence enacted by the rebels: the violent nature of rebels attacks seemed to be somewhat senseless. The murdered women and children who were doing little more than seeking refuge nearby. They showed little remorse for their acts and seemed to revel in their destruction of human life (p. 451).

Referencing and Citation Avoiding Plagiarism School Citation Styles

21 Quotations If you need to leave out some words from the quote replace them with ... (three dots). To insert your own words into the quote to ensure it makes grammatical sense in your work, write your words in [square brackets] to distinguish them from the author's. In both cases be careful not to alter the meaning of the quote by removing or adding too many words.
