The ability to summarise, paraphrase and quote what you read is an essential and complex academic writing skill. They are key to good academic writing, creating a sound academic argument and demonstrating your understanding of the material. These skills are 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.
