Description
Happy New Year! Step into the fresh air and insightful musings with Dr. Jaime in the latest episode of Your Adjunct Professor (YAP) Plodcast. While strolling around the serene Lake Poway, Dr. Jaime reflects on the upcoming academic term, where he'll be teaching at every level in higher education. A common challenge surfaces—paraphrasing, a high-order writing skill that proves elusive for students at all academic levels. Join Dr. Jaime as he unpacks the nuances of paraphrasing, revealing the unique hurdles encountered by students from associates to doctorates. The stakes are high, as struggles with paraphrasing can inadvertently lead to plagiarism. Dive deep into a rich discussion on the four types of plagiarism: (1) direct, (2) self, (3) mosaic, and (4) accidental. Drawing relevance from Dr. Claudine Gay's recent resignation as president of Harvard University, Dr. Jaime explores the critical importance of mastering paraphrasing in academic writing. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of this skill that transcends educational levels, setting the tone for a year of enlightening discussions on the trails of intellect! 🚶‍♂️🎙️ #YAPPlodcast #NewYearEpisode #ParaphrasingChallenges #PlagiarismInsights #AcademicWriting
