Original Source Paraphrase

a) “Multitasking is the term commonly
used for being engaged in two or
more different activities at the
same time, usually referring to
activities using devices such as
cell phones, smartphones,
computers, and so on. Many
people claim to be able to do as
many as four or five things
simultaneously, such as writing an
e-mail while responding to an
instant message (IM) and reading
a tweet, all while watching a video
on their computer monitor or
talking on the phone” (College
Success, 2015, p. 69)
b) “A student who acts with academic
integrity follows the policies and
procedures of the college and
evaluation instructions to create
original work that honestly reflects
their ability to meet course
outcomes. The word integrity
includes several pieces to a
definition: acting with ethics and
moral principles, strength of
personal character, honesty, and a
sense of ‘wholeness’” (Week 4,
What is Academic Integrity?).
c) “A goal is a result we intend to
reach mostly through our own
actions. Things we do may move
us closer to or farther away from
that result. Studying moves us
closer to success in a difficult
 course, while sleeping through the
final examination may completely
prevent reaching that goal”
(College Success, 2015, p. 55).
