Is this an example of appropriate or inappropriate paraphrasing?
The
original passage: Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking
notes, and as a result they overuse quotations in the final [research] paper.
Probably only about 10% of your final manuscript should appear as directly
quoted matter. Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact
transcribing of source materials while taking notes. Lester, James D. Writing
Research Papers. 2nd ed. (1976): 46-47.
The new passage: In research
papers students often quote excessively, failing to keep quoted material down
to a desirable level. Since the problem usually originates during note taking,
it is essential to minimize the material recorded verbatim (Lester
46-47).

The new passage: Students
often use too many direct quotations when they take notes, resulting in too
many of them in the final research paper. In fact, probably only about 10% of
the final copy should consist of directly quoted material. So it is important
to limit the amount of source material copied while taking notes.
