Summary Evaluation

The most challenging part of the summary in my opinion was finding Tan’s thesis. I would have about ten different ideas on what her thesis might be, and it was challenging to break them all up and see which one work and which one did not. The most easiest part of the summary was putting all the main ideas together and paraphrasing them. To me this was the least challenging even though I did have to analyze everything really well and see if it flowed correctly. But I have to honest transitions were a bit hard. I actually expected a grade lower than what I got, since I was not in class for the days are professor went over how to write and break down the reading and how to put everything together, I thought I was going to be behind or stuck on how to write it . Hence I thought my grade was going to reflect my misunderstanding of how to write the summary. I think my strengths are paraphrasing, it was what I spend more time in, its time consuming but I don’t really mind because after all the reader needs to know that you know what your talking about. For the next summary I’m going to spend more time my transitions and checking my spelling. When I find my self stuck or lost I’m going into my professors office and ask for her help in transitioning and making my summary or essay run smoothly. As for my spelling, not depending on spell check all the time.
