The finding of this study indicated that using synonyms and condensing original were as the most frequency, followed by using varied structure, changing parts of speech and expanding phrase for clarity. On the other hand, students rarely used changing word order, separating long sentence, and combining sentences. The highest paraphrased identification was moderate revision that occurred five times or a half of participants, followed by near copy, minimal revision and substantial revision with same result that occurred once. This study also found that some students paraphrased the sentence without mentioning the main source and it is considered as plagiarism.
