I am writing an essay and I would like to know if I did this right. The source I got it from wasn’t a complete sentence but said free health insurance coverage for employee and family. In my essay I wrote “Pediatric Residency Program” continued that the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family. Is this acceptable?

Actually, "Programs" dont provide anything. Perhaps it is the hospital he is assigned, or his Med School has it covered, somebody pays. I suspect it is the hospital which employs him. You could word is "His family and he have health insurance while he is a resident"

Sorry the part in quotations is the title I meant to ask if what isn’t in quotations is plagiarism or not.

Not if the part not in quotation marks is in your own words. The quotation marks, in this instance, would indicate the official name of the program he is part of. If that's not the name of the program, but a generic reference, it doesn't belong in quotation marks, either.

bobpursley's comment should also be taken into consideration. The insurance may be provided by some entity WHILE he is in the residency program - not by the program itself. It would, most likely, be provided by the hospital under its group insurance program for employees.

Sorry once again but what is in quotations is the title of the article to show that I cited my sources. I meant to ask if what I had written was an acceptable paraphrase.

In order to determine if your essay accurately reflects the information from the source, we need to analyze the content and context of both the source and your essay sentence.

From what you provided, the original source states "free health insurance coverage for employee and family." It is a concise statement, lacking a complete sentence structure.

In your essay, you wrote "Pediatric Residency Program" continued that the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family." Here, you connect the idea of the "Pediatric Residency Program" to the health insurance coverage for the pediatrician and their family.

To assess if your sentence is acceptable, you should consider a few factors:

1. Clarity: Does your essay sentence clearly convey the information from the source? In this case, your sentence may be considered acceptable as it connects the program to the health insurance coverage for the pediatrician and his/her family.

2. Accuracy: Does your essay sentence accurately represent the information from the source? Since the original source mentioned "employee and family," it would be more precise to say "free health insurance coverage for employees and their families" instead of singling out the pediatrician.

3. Cohesion: Does your essay sentence fit smoothly within the context of your essay? It is essential to ensure your sentence flows logically and fits well with the surrounding content.

With these factors in mind, you could consider revising your sentence to something like: "The Pediatric Residency Program offers free health insurance coverage for employees and their families." This revised sentence accurately represents the information from the source, while also maintaining clarity and cohesion within your essay.

Remember, it's always advisable to consult your assignment guidelines or ask your instructor for specific requirements or feedback regarding your essay.
