What is the best way to paraphrase this line? students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes, and as a result thet overuse quoatations in the final (research) paper. probably only 10% of your final manuscript should appear as directly quoted matter. therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact transcribing of source materials while taking notes.

Paraphrasing is the writing technique that helps a writer to avoid the constant use of what is known as direct-quotations, which means, using the exact words of another writer to expose an idea or support it. Paraphrasing is literally the use of a writers own words to express the main ideas he/she has gathered from a text that has been written by someone else. Paraphrasing is really important as it avoids the constant use of quotations, which impede the nice flow or reading. However, it is also risky to use when not done right, because it can turn into plagiarism. This is why, the main thing to remember about paraphrasing is this: you use your own words to express the main idea of the author whose text you wish to use.

In this particular excerpt, the correct way of paraphrasing this text would be thus: There is a tendency for students to believe that correct writing means always using quotations, especially when it has to do with a research paper. However, they forget that a good text is not one filled with quotations, as these should be minimally used (less than 10% in a text). Especially when taking notes, students should learn the lack of necessity of overusing quotations and directly transcribing information from texts, and learn to use paraphrasing.

It is important to point out that the final paper, although they should have a bibliographic support of the research, should not exceed the use of these sources, as it is suggested not to exceed in a ten percent (10%) of references. All of this in order to guarantee a successful performance.

the message which is being conveyed is that if a person does not have the qualified skills to be an writer then he should not and if he becomes then just leave it away..
