SUMMARY SHEET

Keep a record in your summary sheets of the interesting things you learn as you study your subject. DO NOT COPY AUTHOR´S WORDS. Make notes in your own words! Your note should be neat and clean; typed or legible handwriting. Tell some of your own ideas from what you have learned.

You will need at least ONE SUMMARY SHEET PER BIBLIOGRAPHY SOURCE, make sure to keep the bibliography referenced for all information.

When writing your summary think of this:
· what question is this resource answering for me?
· Why is this information relevant to my research? How does this information affect my research?

If these questions are hard to answer then maybe that source is not good for your research.
