Paraphrasing involves re-writing a sentence from someone else using your own words
and way of expressing yourself. Paraphrasing includes changing the order of presenting
information in addition to the words used.
English for Writing Research Papers is available electronically (see External Links) to Michigan Tech students, and Chapter 10 has many good examples of paraphrasing
vs plagiarism, including some from Dr. Gratz (MTU professor Emeritus, Biology).
