[Outline]
What are some strategies to write about other people’s ideas in your paper? This presentation will explore academic English writing for the various ways that writers reference and build on prior knowledge. This workshop will teach you the essential skills of rewording other writers’ ideas or quoting them in your academic paper, while also emphasizing the importance of giving credit through proper citations.
