I
didn’t think writing the summary was too bad. I am used to writing summaries
because I was in speech for two years doing radio and television broadcasting.
All we basically did was summarize articles and I think I got pretty good at
it. I also actually enjoying doing this. It is better than a research paper,
but not quite as good as creative writing. The article I picked was in the
medical field and I thought it was very technical. It was definitely written
for other doctors to read. I ended up looking up some of the terminology to be
able to fully understand what they were talking about. It did help that I had
taken an Anatomy class so I could make rough guesses about what they were
discussing.
I'm curious about why summaries rate higher than research papers, for you. And now I"m nervous! If YOU had to look up medical terminology, this is gonna be highly technical! See how you did at making the language accessible to non-medical personnel like me, and if I can get my thinking cap on far enough to be good at understanding it! Here goes. :-)
