This document provides guidance on summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting sources for academic assignments. It explains that summarizing involves concisely representing the key points of a text in your own words, paraphrasing means expressing the ideas of the author in your own words, and quoting directly copies word-for-word from the source. The document advises reading actively, taking notes, avoiding copying text directly, and properly attributing sources. Examples of summaries, paraphrases and quotes are provided and evaluated.
