In this milestone you present your research findings in summary form. Often times involved research papers have an abstract or executive summarythat:
You are ready to begin this summary when you have completed your rough draft or outline of your research paper. YOur rough draft or outline is the culmination of studying your sources, tying them to your thesis statement, and generally organizing your thoughts around the key points you want to make in support of your thesis statement.
These resources help you to explore both abstracts and executive summaries creation and basic components of each type.
Your Abstract or Executive Summary must be presented in a professional manner and include your name, course, the title of assignment, professor’s name, date, task, and include a list of sources used. The Research and Library Tips page will help you properly cite sources using a consistent format, so that your academic integrity is not called into question. The final draft or outline must be 250 – 350 words. The evaluation of your writing will consider grasp of readings, depth of analysis, content organization, clarity of writing, vocabulary use, and proper grammar.
