8. The Original Passage
• Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking
notes, and as a result they overuse quotations in the final
[research] paper. Probably only about 10% of your final
manuscript should appear as directly quoted matter.
Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact
transcribing of source materials while taking notes. (Lester,
James D. Writing Research Papers. 2nd ed. (1976): 46-47.
• A plagiarized version:
• Students often use too many direct quotations when they
take notes, resulting in too many of them in the final
research paper. In fact, probably only about 10% of your
final copy should consist of directly quoted material. So it is
important to limit the amount of source material copied
while taking notes.

9. A Legitimate Paraphrase:
• In research papers, learners often quote
excessively, failing to keep quoted material down
to a desirable level. Since the problem usually
originates during note taking, it is essential to
minimize the material recorded verbatim (Lester,
1976).
