  • Are you unsure about when to quote directly and when to paraphrase?
  • Do you worry about not paraphrasing well?
  • Are you anxious that you might accidentally plagiarize?
  • Have you heard of MLA and APA but are not quite sure what they are?

Don’t worry! Just come to see us in the Writing Centre! Every time we write about information from a source, we need to carefully paraphrase the idea and then document the source according to a specific documentation system. If any of this process is unclear or unfamiliar to you, you can attend this workshop or book a writing centre appointment. We are always happy to help!
