Essay On Paraphrasing

1007 Words5 Pages

Discussion The findings revealed a misconception in terms of student’ paraphrasing comprehension. This refers to students’ respond in defining paraphrasing which they answer it in its basic definition. The study finds that the participants, mostly, consider paraphrasing as the act of replacing synonym. Several researchers have the similar justification with the finding of this study that students’ orientation regarding paraphrasing is limited to the process of knowledge telling rather than knowledge transformation (Barry, 2010; Howard, et.al, 2010; Hirvela & Du, 2013). Interestingly, while these students’ perception regarding the concept of paraphrasing is not exactly incorrect, nonetheless, this can be considered as an arguable issue. Most of students, if they are asked to paraphrase they will reflect this as a matter of simply rewording one or two words in their work. Howard, et.al (2010) implicitly states that the partial comprehension of paraphrasing may lead one to patchwrite, “a reproduction, with minor changes to the word and sentence, of the source language.

    The Synopsis that I gathered from Haas and Flowers’ “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” was none the less another interesting read. Experienced readers might come to understand that both reading and writing can be “context-rich, situational, and have constructive acts”. Though a large number of students may find reading and writing more or less to be an exchange of valued or non-valued information. Continuing on, multiple studies that have been conducted have also found that on average 77 percent of experienced readers tend to use content strategies to expand their knowledge of the reading. These strategies usually include vigorous annotations of the reading/writing that have been shown to improve the readers/writers’ comprehension of the material.

    In any school you have attended, plagiarism is a situation that a writer should not put themselves in under any circumstances. When reading the essay “Something Borrowed,” Malcolm Gladwell gave insight into the flaws of plagiarism that writers may not have thought about before. The first being that plagiarism is never acceptable (927). The second issue with plagiarism is recognizing the differences that can or cannot “inhibit creativity” (931). Being inspired by another person's work can help and guide you to build your own ideas, but simply taking their work and claiming it as yours is not permitted.

I agree with them I believe it is important to have a better understanding of what you are reading. While I am someone who is guilty of just getting through a reading to paraphrase I do sometimes struggle with reading between the lines.

    As I engage this unit’s Read and Attend assignments, I find that my understanding of plagiarism is not as fully developed as I had previously thought. Our Unit 3 Attend assignment shares that “in a general sense plagiarism may be caused by carelessness” and these circumstances frequently precipitate the lack of care required while writing (Bethel University, 2014, p. 11). The academic integrity tutorial provided additional information which I found valuable as well. Common themes within each unit assignment provide strands of continuity, while assisting with a more comprehensive understanding. It is my opinion, the type of plagiarism that is hardest for me to avoid is “plagiaphrasing”, also known as “lazy paraphrasing” (Bethel University, 2014, p. 12).
