Academic Integrity and Examples of Proper Citation Answer the following question: How can these resources help students uphold academic integrity?

These resources help students uphold academic integrity by teaching them to understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate use of source material. More specifically, they define and distinguish verbatim quotations from paraphrasing and mere referencing or crediting the ideas of another author. Probably the most valuable aspect of the material is that it helps students avoid plagiarizing unintentionally when they do not realize it and have no idea that their intended use of reference material is prohibited.

What are the differences between a summary, a direct quote, and a paraphrase?

A summary consists of an original brief synopsis of the ideas in the referenced material. A direct quote consists of reproducing the exact words of the referenced material with quotation marks; if it is longer than a few lines, it is also indented and italicized. Paraphrasing consists of rewording the ideas in the referenced material in entirely original words.

Provide an example of all three - a summary, a direct quote, and a paraphrase.

This is a direct quote of the original text:

"LSI is based on Kolb's Experiential learning model. In this model, knowledge is created from grasping...

LSI was designed to place people on a line between concrete experience (CE) and abstract conceptualization (AC); and active experimentation (AE) and reflective observation (RO). The very brief explanations are as follows: Concrete Experience: Looking at things as they are, without any change in raw detail. Abstract Conceptualization: Looking at things as concepts and ideas, after a degree of processing that turns the raw detail into an internal model.
Active Experimentation: Taking what they have concluded and trying it out to prove that it works. Reflective Observation: Taking what they have concluded and watching to see if it works." (Akkoyunlu, & Soylu, 2008 p. 185)

This is a paraphrasing of the (same) original text:

There are numerous theories about how people learn, and one of the most commonly used is Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI), that categorizes learning according to the following broad distinctions: Concrete Experience or considering things substantially the way they are presented; Abstract Conceptualization or considering things as ideas and theories that represent or incorporate what is represented; Active Experimentation or forming conclusions based on what is represented and conducting experiments to confirm those conclusions; and Reflective Observation or determining whether what…
