Students who use the exact words of an author are quoting the author.
Here's why:
* Quoting means to repeat someone else's words exactly, using quotation marks to indicate that the words are not your own.
* Paraphrasing means to express someone else's ideas in your own words.
* Summarizing means to briefly state the main points of someone else's work.
So, if a student uses the exact words of an author, they are quoting the author, and it's important that they use quotation marks to indicate that.
