Summary assignment and Paraphrasing assignment

After reading through the articles about plagiarism, choose one article to write a clear summary that is no more than one fourth the original length of the article. Remember to include the author’s name and the title of the original article in your summary. Use in-text citations whenever information is directly quoted from the source and at the end of the summary. Only include the most relevant details of the summary so a person reading your summary would have all necessary information to understand the original article. Keep in mind that your summary will be completely objective and not include your opinion on the topic. Follow these guidelines to write your summary:

The summary should be one fourth the length of your original piece. Choose one of the three articles:

o “Plagiarism: What’s the Big Deal?”

o “Plagiarism: Can it be Stopped?”

o “Addressing Plagiarism”

Include an APA in-text citation at the end of the summary and anywhere you directly quote material from the original article.

 Include a reference page in APA format.

 Include an APA title page.

 Include the title of the original piece and the author’s name.

 Be objective and avoid inserting your own opinion into the piece.

Students: Be sure to read the criteria, by which your paper/project will be evaluated, before you write, and again after you write
