How do I write a science discussion paper in my own words? For example, if I'm given an article on exomets and my instructor is asking for me in return to tell what it is but in my words; how do I do that if I have no previous knowledge about it?

Answer 1

Research.

In your text/reading assignments
Scholar.google.com
Contact a research librarian — yes, in person

Answer 2

So I take the article that I'm given and then my own words would come from the material that I'm given such as the textbook, PowerPoint slides,etc.?

Answer 3

Right
