Reading summaries

  1. Substance Does the writing include the relevant information? Does the writing exclude irrelevant information? Does the reader know more about the topic than they did before reading?
  2. Delivery Does the summary follow a logical order? Does the organization highlight major points and questions?
  3. Style Does the summary provide information efficiently (no passive voice, no extraneous words?) Does the summary read well grammatically (no spelling or grammatical errors)?
