What type of note
A paraphrase is an accurate, thorough restatement of the original text in your own words.
Which type of note
Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.
What effective note
Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source.
Which type of technique in note
Paraphrasing is a way of using different words and phrasing to present the same ideas. Paraphrasing is used with short sections of text, such as phrases and sentences. A paraphrase offers an alternative to using direct quotations and allows you to integrate evidence/source material into assignments.
