Part 2) Read the article carefully and answer the questions listed at the bottom of this page.
The Sociology Student Writer’s Manual, 4th Ed., by William A. Johnson, Jr., Richard P. Rettig, Gregory M. Scott, and Stephen M. Garrison. Prentice Hall, 2004.
5.3. ETHICAL USE OF SOURCE MATERIAL (p. 111)
“Your goal is to integrate the source material skillfully into the flow of your written argument, using it as effectively as possible.”
“This means that sometimes you will need to quote from a source directly, whereas at other times you should recast (paraphrase) source information into your own words.”
5.3.1. Quoting (p. 111)
When should you quote directly?
“When the original language is distinctive enough to enhance your argument.”
“When rewording the passage would lessen its impact.”
“Rarely, should you quote a source at great length (longer than two or three paragraphs).
“Nor should your paper, or any lengthy section of it, be merely a string of quoted passages.”
“The more quotations you take from others, the more disruptive they are to the rhetorical flow of your own language.”
“Too much quoting creates a ‘cut-and-paste’ paper, a choppy patchwork of varying styles and borrowed purposes in which the sense of your own control over the material is lost.”
Acknowledge quotations carefully.
“The origin of each quote must be signaled (cited) within your text at the point where the quote occurs, as well as in the list of works cited (references) that follow the text.”
Quote accurately.
“If your quotation introduces careless variants of any kind, you are misrepresenting your source.”
“Proofread your quotations very carefully, paying close attention to such surface features as spelling, capitalization, italics, and the use of numerals.”
“Occasionally, either to make a quotation fit smoothly into a passage, to clarify a reference, or to delete unnecessary material form a quotation, you may need to change the original wording slightly. You must signal any such change to your reader by using brackets.”
5.3.2. Paraphrasing
“Your writing has its own rhetorical attributes, its own rhythms and structural coherence.”
“Inserting too many quotations into a section of your paper can disrupt the patterns you establish in your prose and diminish the effectiveness of your own language.”
“Paraphrasing, or recasting source material in your own words, is one way of avoiding the risk of creating a choppy hodgepodge of quotations.”
“Paraphrasing allows you to communicate ideas and facts from a source in your own prose, thereby keeping intact the rhetorical characteristics that distinguish your writing.”
“Remember that the salient fact about a paraphrase is that its language is yours.”
“It is not a near copy of the source writer’s language.”
“Merely changing a few words of the original does justice to no one’s prose and frequently produces stilted passages.””This sort of borrowing is actually a form of plagiarism”
“To fully integrate the material you wish to use into your writing, use your own language.”
“Paraphrasing may actually increase your comprehension of source material.”
“Recasting a passage requires you to think carefully about its meaning — more carefully, perhaps, than you might if you merely copied it word for word.”
5.3.3. Avoiding Plagiarism
“Paraphrases require the same sort of documentation that direct quote does.”
“The words of a paraphrase may be yours, but the idea is someone else’s.”
“Failure to give that person credit, in the form of references within the text and in the bibliography, may make you vulnerable to a charge of plagiarism.”
“What kind of paraphrased material must be acknowledged?”
“Basic material that you find in several sources need not be acknowledged by a reference.”
“For example, it is unnecessary to cite a source for the information that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected to a fourth term as President of the United States shortly before his death, because this is a commonly known fact.”
“Any information that is not widely known, whether factual or open to dispute, should be documented.”
“This includes statistics, graphs, tables, and charts taken from a source other than your own primary research.”
“Professor Smith’s opinion, published in a recent article, that Roosevelt’s winning of a fourth term hastened his death is not a fact, but a theory based on Smith’s research and defended by her.” So this should be acknowledged.
“Plagiarism is the using of someone else’s words or ideas without giving that person credit.”
“Although some plagiarism is deliberate, produced by writers who understand that they are guilty of a kind of academic thievery,”
“much of it is unconscious, committed by writers who are not aware of the varieties of plagiarism or who are careless in recording their borrowings from sources.”
“Plagiarism includes:”
“Quoting directly without acknowledging the source.”
“Paraphrasing without acknowledging the source.”
“Constructing a paraphrase that closely resembles the original in language and syntax.”
“One way to guard against plagiarism is to keep careful records in your notes of when you have quoted source material directly and when you have paraphrased — making sure that the wording of the paraphrase is yours.”
“Make sure that all direct quotes in your final draft are properly set off from your own prose, either with quotation marks or in indented blocks.”
