Summary Writing Wrap Up and Peer Review Tips

Notes: Please take into consideration the comments I have given you on your three short summaries. I do not require that you make any changes, but consider these comments to help you in writing your final source-synthesis summary.

If you have not turned in any of the three short summaries, you currently have a "0" for that assignment. If you would like partial credit, please turn the missing work into your dropbox as soon as you can.
