5. a) Common Knowledge
• Facts that can be found in numerous places and
are likely to be widely known.
Example:
• Rodrigo Duterte was elected President of the Philippines in
2016.
This is generally known information.
You do not need to document this fact

6. b) Interpretation
• You must document facts that are not generally known,
or ideas that interpret facts.
Example:
• Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever to have
played the game.
This idea is not a fact but an interpretation or an opinion. You
need to cite the source.

7. c) Quotation
• Using someone’s words directly. When you use a direct
quote, place the passage between quotation marks, and
document the source according to a standard
documenting style.
Example:
• According to John Smith in The New York Times, “37% of all
children under the age of 10 live below the poverty line”.
 You need to cite the source.

8. d) Paraphrase
• Using someone’s ideas, but rephrasing them in
your own words.
• Although you will use your own words to
paraphrase, you must still acknowledge and cite
the source of the information.
