Chapter 17 Reading Review

Chapter 17 Reading Review

Another short chapter! A chapter that is nine pages in length and contains mostly information about avoiding plagiarism did not teach me too much. Regardless, I did learn a few things. I did learn about the distinctions between a paraphrase and a summary. A paraphrase is where you write a specific part of a text in your own words, and a summary is writing a very general overview of the text. Also, I learned about synthesizing, which is combining summaries and paraphrases with your own observations of the topic at hand. The exercises are also a useful tool for polishing the skills represented in the chapter.

Overall though, this chapter was not very informative or interesting, and the information that I did learn was very basic.
