Direct Quotes in Paragraphs

To enforce the relevance of a specific sentence in an essay, especially when dealing with a lengthy document such as a dissertation or thesis, most professors will require that whoever is using that particular text abide by a given set of rules. If an author doesn't adhere to all the instructions then the article will not be accepted. However, if an original paragraph is improperly utilized and the wording is vague, the professor will reduce the grade and award the student a online paraphrase. To help avoid and correct this flaw in your writing, always go for a creative idea that will motivate the teacher to read the paper and not tovy through every single statement.

There are several ways to achieve the desired outcome, and these are described below:

  1. Starting with a directly quoting the said quote. The opening is often misused to show the reader that the writer has no trouble explaining a certain excerpt from the source. While it may be ideal to begin with a broadline, if the Quote is hard to Understand and very verbose, try to narrow it down to a specific quote.
  2. After picking a couple of words from the quoted material, you will introduce the author and explain exactly why the information is relevant and what he/she wants to talk about in the segment. This should be short and precise.
  3. The next step is to roughly describe the critical points from the source. After that, move to the opening with the word count that the passage will support and be in line with the rest of the paragraphs.
  4. When opting to omit a quotation mark in a direct quote, make sure to include it in parenthesis since it conveys the same message, but it will be considered dishonesty and academic. Instead of merely providing a description, instead of causing any misunderstanding, it is wise to add a citation for the paper to be cited.

Typical Editing Mistakes

Numerous students usually mistake romanizing dissertations for worked citations due to the impact of rewriting the original section many times in a year.While it is a good strategy, sometimes doing it in segments is not a smart choice because, in the long run, a poorly performed work will cause the intended target to be resonated wrong. As a result, whenever a snippet of a known paragraph is used without permission, it reduces the Evaluation Criterion's assessment of the document.

Instead of immediately rewrite the whole extracted data, it is best to tinker around with the selected revised version until it fulfills the intent and goal of the task. But, if the edited part is longer than the necessary number of sentences, it is appropriate to remove the embedded phrases. From there, Quoting can be done in full with proper justification.
