This page is an exercise in revising a massively plagiarized master's thesis by paraphrasing portions of the text that were either quoted without attribution (no citation) or quoted inappropriately (no quotation marks). In both cases we will re-write individual paragraphs and deposit the results here, by page number.
Here is a link to the New York Times article.
Instructions:
- Type on your personal notebook a piece of text (paragraph) from the page represented in the New York Times article of July 23, 2014.
- Edit to rephrase in your own words, avoiding close paraphrasing as much as possible.
- Cut and past results into this document on the proper page in the proper order, if possible.
- Do minor formatting or editing as needed.
- BONUS. If you are editing a passage without attribution, insert the reference.
