  10. Original Sources Quoted Using APA Rules

  11. Definition of Paraphrasing “Paraphrasing is not simply rearranging or rewording an original passage. Correct paraphrasing consists of reading the original passage, understanding what the original author is saying, synthesizing… the information, and then expressing your understanding of these ideas in your own words.” San Jose State University (http://tutorials.sjlibrary.org/tutorial/plagiarism/tutorial/introduction.htm)

  12. Paraphrasing: Rewording More Than 50% “Signed into law in January 2002 by President George W. Bush, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act signaled the nation’s most sweeping education reform of federal education policy in decades. NCLB laid the groundwork for education reforms and the president’s attempt to strengthen America’s education system”(Smith, 2008, p. 212). Direct quote Paraphrased When the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act was signed into law in January of 2002 by President Bush, the law provided the most all-encompassing reform in education the United States in decades and provided a foundation for strengthening educational policy at the national level for years to come (Smith, 2008).

  16. Primary Source Cited But Words Were Actually Plagiarized From a Secondary Source • Researchers have noted adjustment problems during a rising ninth grader’s transition period. The rising ninth graders’ grade point averages and attendance tend to decrease. The upcoming freshman experience feelings of connectedness, and co-curricular participation. They also experience an increase in anxiety concerning school procedures and older students, social difficulties. So far, transition programs have varied widely within schools, and designs range from a one-day overview of a new school to a full school year of career-focused curriculum. Although the scope of research varies as much as the programs themselves, several important aspects have been emphasized, and it is apparent that longer-term comprehensive transition programming can be beneficial. Dropout There is a high school dropout epidemic in America. Each year, almost one-third of all public high school students – and nearly one-half of all blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans – fail to graduate from public high school (Bridgeland,Dilulio, Jr., and Morison, 2006). The most common reasons for dropping out of high schoolare attitude towards school, poor school performance, and poor relationship with teachers. Dropouts also had lower academic performance, decreased motivation, and an increased sense of alienation from the school environment (Lan & Lanthier, 2003). Research also revealed that high school students often consider the social organizational changes and academic work as the most difficult part of transition (Akos, 2004). The original idea was from Lan & Lanthier, but the actual words are from a secondary source by Clarke. The problem is that the secondary source was not cited. (Lan & Lanthier, 2003).
