Thursday Thoughts: Paraphrasing Effectively

A pile of reading material  ready to be paraphrased!
Generally speaking, university faculty prefer writers to paraphrase sources instead of using direct quotes since paraphrasing demonstrates the writer’s command of the source material and quotes, especially long ones, disrupt the flow of a writer’s own points. That said, paraphrasing effectively is an important skill for scholars. Our blog series on paraphrasing includes several points on effective paraphrasing strategies.


The Walden Writing Center provides information and assistance to students with services like live chat, webinars, course visits, paper reviews, podcasts, modules, and the writing center webpages. The center supports students through all stages of the writing process and develops the writer as well as the writing.
