Welcome to Professor Pam's Home Page 

  

Use your own words.

Please do not get in the habit of reading the text and online information and just doing a "copy and paste."  Don't quote from the materials you've read, even if you show it as a quote!

The highest form of successful business writing is learning from what you've read, summarizing it IN YOUR OWN WORDS, and reporting what you've learned.  Practice!  

It is very important that you develop your own style of writing. When you use someone else's words, it sounds like someone else wrote it. For most of my courses, this isn't just about cheating--it's about developing your own style of writing.
