Summaries are very important to get all the necessary facts and conclusions in such a way that a person that doesn't have the time to read the full document can understand and use the information you've presented. summaries are meant to be concise and easy to read.
Expectations:
- accuracy- precise image of the full text
- completeness- main ideas and reasoning
- readability- concise, easy to understand
- conciseness- informative, brief, word limit
- nontechnical style- plain English
Summaries are for when you prepare a report, or proposal and you summarize the works of others. a closing summary is used to refresh the readers memory as to what they read before the conclusions. an informative abstract essentially the full text in short form. descriptive abstract, 1-3 sentences about the report, doesn't include the main points. Executive abstract can replace the entire report.
Ethical considerations- what to leave out and what to include.
