Précis - Notes

Updated: May 6

 
  • Formative due after christmas

  • SUMMARISE academically correctly for university level 

  • Criteria: name, name of course, article name, word count (800 words - 10% either way)

  • Reader books - go and find the perfect article!!! And write on wall

  • As many drafts as I like

  • Bring it down to 800 words - be able to take the essence out of the article - what are the most important parts of it?

  • It’s you talking about this article - can relate to own work but don’t have to. Link it with own thinking.

  • Can paraphrase the article and use quotes but must cite or reference correctly - eg: “the quick brown fox…lazy dog” (Adamson p.22)

  • Number and order references in the order they appear in the text:

  • Bibliography - everything you use to get the information from

  • Put all in the bibliography in alphabetical order



A précis is just a summary but it HAS to be done academically

Create hard copy

Highlight with highlighter to identify the main important issues, condense it so it doesn’t change the meaning of the article

Ensure proper referencing for quoting the article
