Precis 4

Write a precis. A precis is a short description of a reading assignment, much like a book report. It should not contain any interpretation, examples, or objections. It should be limited simply to outlining the positions and arguments as they are found in the reading. Precis should be between 250-300 words (about a page), and should be typed, double spaced, 12pt font, or equivalent. To earn credit, it should be related to the chapter that we read for that module , and turned in during the week that we discuss and cover that chapter in class. It is of no value to write a precis after we have talked about it in class, so late precis will not be accepted for credit. As always your precis should focus on the critical thinking topics from the chapter and not the example essays in the chapter..

A precis should never directly quote any author, or any part of the text. Instead, summarize the main points, and cite your sources. Any precis that includes a direct quote from any author, either attributed or unattributed, will receive no credit.
