General Guidelines for Class Discussions:
Include evidence to support your claims. Do remember that instructors generally prefer that you paraphrase the evidence. To paraphrase means to “express the meaning of the writer or speaker or something written or spoken using different words.” With paraphrasing, you are demonstrating your ability to grasp the meaning and message of the source.
Direct quotes should be reserved for genuinely profound or remarkable statements that should be preserved in their original form.
