When you write anything from a homework assignment to a formal research paper, you are putting words onto paper (or onto the computer disc). You may be summarizing information you learned in class or synthesizing information you gathered from multiple sources. How do you turn that information into your own words? In this experience, you will learn how to do that.
Objectives
Imagine that you are in charge of a website that runs in-depth articles about arts and culture. You have three writers working for you. They write articles about artists, authors, and new trends.
One writer submitted a profile of a famous artist. The article includes quotes from the artist, but you know the writer was unable to arrange an in-person interview. You ask the writer where the quotes came from and learn they came from another interview published online five years ago. That interview is not mentioned or credited in the article.Do you post the article on the website? Why or why not?
Note that material from someone else’s work should not be used without credit being given.
