32. Original Source: Trauma symptoms are probably adaptive, and originally evolved to help us recognize and avoid other dangerous situations quickly -- before it was too late. Sometimes these symptoms resolve within a few days or weeks of a disturbing experience: Not everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD. It is when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. Student Paper: Trauma symptoms first evolved to help us avoid dangerous situations before it was too late. Sometimes these symptoms resolve within a few days or weeks, and not everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD. It is when many symptoms persist or are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. _______________ Source included in References list. http://PollEv.com/millerk

It is when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. Student Paper: Symptoms of trauma probably evolved to aid us in noticing dangerous situations rapidly and before it was too late. Usually, trauma symptoms resolve within a few days or weeks and PTSD is not present in everyone who experiences a traumatic event. Professional help is needed if symptoms persist for a long time or they are extreme (Baldwin, 2013). _______________ Source included in References list. http://PollEv.com/millerk

36. • Borrowing an idea and putting it in your own words • A good paraphrase is generally preferred over quotations… why? • Avoid “paraphrase plagiarism”-- where your paraphrase is too similar to original source • Shift + F7 ≠ your own writing • Remember to cite! A paraphrase must always be documented

It is when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. Student Paper: Exposure to trauma does not guarantee the development of PTSD; our reactions to dangerous situations are usually short-lasting and can been seen as biologically advantageous. However, people experiencing long-lasting or severe symptoms should be evaluated for PTSD. _______________ Source included in References list. http://PollEv.com/millerk
38. • What are the ideas presented in the original source? • Student paper…what ideas does it present? • Do they match? • If so, is credit given in… • the works cited? • the text?

It is when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. Student Paper: Baldwin (2013) explains that although our reactions to traumatic events are biologically advantageous and usually go way quickly, “when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they extreme…. professional help may be indicated” (para. 4). _______________ Source included in References list. http://PollEv.com/millerk
