See, but putting things into your own words requires you to read and comprehend the original information in order to reword it. So you still learn stuff

Which is what your teachers ultimately want

Yes, but it's really easy to change probably a few sentences around and the teacher put a 100% on it when the teacher your going to do this to is a raging alcoholic.

Dude, taking an entire article and merely rewording it. That counts as plagiarism. My WRT-120 teacher many months ago was very clear on this. Taryn, your people must have been lax as hell.

That's happened to me quite a few times... I hate how wiki is somehow addicting.

Hey, I never said I did it.

But it's my experience that if you have to read something in order to reword it well, you have to actually comprehend what you're rewriting. So it's not like you get out of learning anything.... it's just you think you've gotten out easier.

Hell, all a report is is rewording stuff you read in several books. At least that's what it seems like. Read a bunch of shit, comprehend it and spit it out again.

Unless you're working on your own doctorate research project, anything you can say in a report is a rewording of something someone has already said.

Yes, taking an article and rewording it is plagiarism... but when you're writing something you know about and have read a lot about, it's hard to avoid doing this at least to a small degree in places.

That's why I just always cite everything that isn't an inferred conclusion.
