Example 1:

Students commencing university often lack the writing, reading and


research skills necessary to complete assessment tasks. These skills need
to be developed over time (Veit & Gould 2010). Learning the skills of
note-taking and paraphrasing are vital if students are to avoid plagiarism
in their writing. Veit and Gould (2010, p. 158) emphasise the importance
of ‘using your own words and your own style’ when paraphrasing. There
are many different strategies available to students regarding note-taking
and paraphrasing. Veit and Gould (2010) suggest a useful strategy to
avoid unintentional plagiarism is to rewrite important information in your
own words at the time of reading. Students should remember to always
record the full details of sources in their notes. Sources can then be
accurately acknowledged in the text and in the list of works cited at the
end of their paper.

Example 2:

Young drivers are at a greater risk of being injured or killed on our roads
than any other demographic (VicRoads 2014). There are a number of
safety issues for young drivers, including the issue of distraction. The
World Health Organisation (2011, p. 8) defines driver distraction ‘ as
when some kind of triggering event external to the driver results in the
driver shifting attention away from the driving task’. The ringing of a
telephone, responding to a text message or a telephone alert can all
cause distractions while driving. Young drivers are more likely to be
involved in an accident as a result of a distraction within the vehicle as
they do not have the experience to know how to respond (World Health
Organisation 2011). Opinions differ regarding the solution to the problem
of mobile phone use while driving by young people. Young, Rudin-Brown
and Lenne (2010) suggest increased penalties and driver education as
two possible strategies. In the not too distant future technology may
provide a solution to the problem.
