Presentation Transcript

  1. Quotation vs. Paraphrase 12 Basic IQ Skills

  2. IQ: FRAU • Find • Retrieve • Analyze • Use This presentation is about the USE of information in your academic work.

  3. Why Should I Care? • Christians value honesty • Scholars value accuracy and receiving credit for their ideas • So, the kind of work you do at Austin Seminary requires attention to how you use sources in your work

  4. Living in a Tradition of Thought • Many of My New Ideas build on the words of others • In academic work, I explicitly note my dependence on the words and ideas of others • Not to do so is plagiarism, an ethical violation

  5. Plagiarism: A Bad Thing • Plagiarism is the lack of explicit acknowledgement of the ideas or phrases of others • Austin Seminary expects students to acknowledge dependence by using footnotes and appending bibliographies to academic work

  6. Directly Quoting • A direct quotation uses the exact words of another in unaltered form. • Here’s a quote: • On a sultry day in July of the year 1505 a lonely traveler was trudging over a parched road on the outskirts of the Saxon village of Stotternheim.

  7. Directly Quoting By rule you must: • Place these words in quotation marks in your paper • Include a footnote documenting the source • Add the source to the bibliography at the end of your paper

  8. Directly Quoting “On a sultry day in July of the year 1505 a lonely traveler was trudging over a parched road on the outskirts of the Saxon village of Stotternheim.” Footnote: Roland H. Bainton, Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther (Nashville: Abingdon, 1950), 21. In bibliography: Bainton, Roland H. Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther . Nashville: Abingdon, 1950.

  9. Directly Quoting • In summary: • Use quotation marks • If the quote is 5 or more lines, make it a block quote using Turabian 25.2.2 • Create a footnote • Add the work cited to bibliography

  10. Paraphrasing • A paraphrase does not use the exact words of another • A paraphrase, however, does make use of the ideas of another • Austin Seminary expects you to acknowledge your indebtedness via appropriate footnotes and bibliography

  11. Paraphrasing Here’s a paraphrase: • David Jensen argues on theological grounds that work is a fundamental human right, and that government policies should promote education that leads to employment.

  12. Paraphrasing • Therefore, by rule: • Do not use quotation marks. • Write a footnote: David H. Jensen, Responsive Labor: A Theology of Work (Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2006), 105-106.

  13. Paraphrasing • In bibliography: Jensen, David H. Responsive Labor: A Theology of Work. Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2006.

  14. Paraphrasing • You must acknowledge your source, even when paraphrasing • Do not use quotation marks • Do use a footnote • Do include the source document in your bibliography

  15. Paraphrasing • Good practice: paraphrases should sound like YOU interpreting the words of others • Suggestion: Use direct quotes sparingly, or use a single long quote and then comment on it • Honor the source in a footnote

  16. Summary • Copying of the words of others (quotations) and putting the ideas of others in your own words (paraphrases) require you to: • Follow proper quoting rules • Use footnotes • Add cited source to bibliography
