Quote directly:
- Copy out the information word for word, place quotation marks around it, and then provide a citation for the information
Paraphrase:
- Take the information or idea, completely rephrase it in your own words, and then provide a citation for the information.
- Don’t just switch out a few words – in order to properly paraphrase, you must restate those ideas in your own words.
