    3. 3 Why we use quotes and paraphrases The use of direct quotes and paraphrases to support your discussion and argument is vital for quality academic writing and to avoid claims of plagiarism. Students can use direct quotes and paraphrases, to achieve many purposes such as: To orientate the reader in the introduction of an essay to key research in the field To show how significant a topic is To support the claims made in the essay or task To outline, explain, compare and / or give examples of varying opinions in the field or highlight a position that a student may wish to agree or disagree with To demonstrate broad reading and knowledge on a topic (Note: this list is not exhaustive) Slide 3: Why we use quotes and paraphrases The use of direct quotes and paraphrases is vital for quality academic writing and also to avoid claims of plagiarism. Students can use source material, in the form of direct quotes and paraphrases, to achieve many purposes such as: To orientate the reader in the introduction of an essay to key research in the field To show how significant a topic is To support the claims made in the essay or task To outline, explain, compare and / or give examples of varying opinions in the field To highlight a position that a student may wish to agree or disagree with and finally, To demonstrate broad reading and knowledge on a topicSlide 3: Why we use quotes and paraphrases The use of direct quotes and paraphrases is vital for quality academic writing and also to avoid claims of plagiarism.

    4. 4 Direct quotes In general, quotations should be used infrequently in academic writing. You should use a quotation only when you need to: Include an authors language that is particularly effective, well-stated, important within the discipline, historically significant, or striking or unique Present an idea or opinions that either cannot be paraphrased concisely or cannot be paraphrased without changing the meaning in some way Present an idea or position to critique, comment upon or agree/disagree with (this position should be one that cannot be easily stated through paraphrasing) Slide 4: Direct quotes A direct quote occurs when students use words from a source exactly as they are written in the original. In general, quotations should be used infrequently in academic writing. You should a quotation only when you need to: Include an authors language that is particularly effective, well-stated, important within the discipline, historically significant, or striking or unique Present an idea or opinions that either cannot be paraphrased concisely or cannot be paraphrased without changing the meaning in some way Present an idea or position to critique, comment upon or agree/disagree with (this position should be one that cannot be easily stated through paraphrasing)Slide 4: Direct quotes

    5. 5 An example of a direct quote This is an appropriate use of a direct quote because it used the authors own emotive words to provide a strong opinion and also because it combines the direct quote with paraphrasing from the original text. On the basis of empirical evidence, Weller and Webber (2001) argue that there has been growing polarisation of the Australian labour force and that precarious and unstable careers have been the outcome of the structural changes in the economy (p.192), at least in the textiles, clothing and footwear industries.
