In my essay:

Question

How do I distinguish my ideas from paraphrasing (with appropriate citation at end of paraphrase)so that the entire paragraph does not look like a paraphrase?

Answer 1

You could say --

As Smith says . . . (paraphrase)

Another view indicates . . . (your ideas)

Answer 2

Thank you. If I do not include these prefaces will this bring my mark down?

Answer 3

I don't know.

But, I agree, that you should find a way to distinguish between one author's ideas and your ideas.

Answer 4
