Plagiarism Tutorial

Paraphrase Version #2

Stylized human with speech bubbleOriginal Source:

"America today has veered too far in the direction of formal testing without adequate consideration of the costs and limitations of an exclusive emphasis on that approach" (Gardner, 2006, p. 179).

Paraphrase Version 2:

In the United States, the education system places too much emphasis on formal testing, overlooking the limitations and expenses imposed when that assessment strategy is employed exclusively (Gardner, 2006).

Comments:

This paraphrase is different enough from the original source that it would not be considered plagiarism as long as the parenthetical citation is included.
