Discussion

Abstracts present a shortened version of the original source, such as an article, seminar, lecture, or meeting.  Minutes of meetings are considered abstracts. 

Informative abstracts are written in the writer’s own words (paraphrased), using only the facts and no opinions while an evaluative abstract may include quotations and opinions.  Minutes of meetings are considered abstracts.  One way to analyze an article is to answer the journalism questions of:  Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?  Summary and informative abstract are used interchangeably in this course (see section 9.4 in the textbook).
