Avoiding plagiarism week: Summarising, paraphrasing and quoting effectively
When:
—
Venue:
Online
This online workshop takes place as part of Avoiding Plagiarism Week, a series of plagiarism and referencing-focused workshops taking place from 24th-29th October 2022.
This workshop covers some key skills which will help you to avoid plagiarism. The ability to summarise, paraphrase and quote what you read is an essential and complex academic writing skill. It is central to good academic writing, creating a sound academic argument and demonstrating your understanding of the material. It is also crucial to reading and note-making for academic purposes and to integrating your material into your writing. This session will identify the differences between summarising, paraphrasing and quoting and the importance of – and how and when to - summarise, paraphrase or quote.
This online workshop will take place on a Blackboard Collaborate link within the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle Module. It is intended for enrolled Birkbeck students only, and you will require your student login details to access the workshop.
