AboutElana Peled, Ed.D. Expertise I can answer questions related to the writing, formatting and development of academic papers, essays and dissertations, from selecting a topic and developing a thesis, to focusing a sentence and/or paragraph. I can also answer questions regarding syntax, grammar and punctuation. And I can answer questions regarding the role of creativity in academic writing as well as dealing with writer's block and procrastination.
Experience I have more than 20 years experience teaching academic writing to college students at every level. I have designed and taught courses on reading and writing for college freshman, both those who enter college ready to do college level work and those needing additional "catch-up" work. I've taught writing to students in master's programs and even designed a workbook to help students working on a master's thesis. I've worked in college writing centers helping students with papers for courses across the curriculum, and I've even coaching doctoral candidates through their dissertations, providing guidance for the process and direct feedback on their writing.

Question If you have a report to do and you have to research articles online for it and you reword the article so that you can put it in your report so for example:"The child,running fastly,tripped.Due to the injury,the child went to the hospital.")If I reworded it to say "Running hurridly,the child tripped.This resulted to having to take the child to the hospital.",would this be okay.Would it be okay if it is in the same order and says almost the same thing,just in different wording?Would this be plagiarism?
Answer Corrina,
If you simply reword something you've read elsewhere, without giving credit to the source, that is indeed plagiarism.
All you need to do to avoid plagiarizing is write something like this:
