Paraphrasing Properly
Changing words is not paraphrasing. Changing structure is.

Synonym swapping produces text that reads badly and still matches in Turnitin, because the sentence shape is unchanged. Real paraphrasing means understanding the point well enough to write it in your own structure — and it still needs the citation, which is the part most students forget. We rewrite properly and keep the attribution.
What you get
- The source read, closed, and then written from memory
- Sentence structure rebuilt, not shuffled
- The citation kept — a paraphrase still needs one
- Technical terms left alone where substitution distorts
- The result checked against the original
