Paraphrasing

Read through the abstract of  " Do First-Year University Students Know What to Expect from Their First-Year Writing Intensive Course?"

First, paraphrase the abstract into your own words and include an in-text citation and reference. 

After writing your initial paraphrase, answer the following questions about your classmates' paraphrases: (in a paragraph or more)

· What is the main idea of the paraphrase?

· What suggestions can you give to improve the paraphrase?

· Was the in-text citation correctly written in APA?

· Was this paraphrase easier to understand than the original passage? Why or why not?
