Evaluating Sources
There are four questions to ask when evaluating sources: 1. How Well does the Source answer the Research Question?2. Is the Information Provided by an Expert?3. Is the Source Valid?4. Is there a Variety of Sources?
Writing Summaries & Paraphrases
The ability to summarize and paraphrase is an essential academic skill all students must develop. Writers use summaries and paraphrases in research papers to substantiate their ideas since they do not need to use every word of every relevant source.
A summary is a condensed version of the main ideas of all or part of a source, written in your own words.
A paraphrase is a rewording of a particular point in a source.
Remember, do not include your own ideas or commentary in the body of the summary or paraphrase. Your own ideas should come after the summary or paraphrase. You don't want your reader to become confused about which information is yours and which is the source's. \
And you always have to document summaries and paraphrases since the ideas are not your own.
