C Competent summary • Correctly, or nearly correctly, surmises the thesis and some of the main points. • Summary may place too much emphasis on one main point or focus too much on minor points • Summary contains some misreadings but these misreadings don’t extend to the thesis of the article • Summary may too closely follow the organization of the article itself (a blow-by-blow paraphrase is not a successful summary) • Attributive tags and/or citations are used, but are used inconsistently and/or incorrectly • Quotes are unexplained and there may be too many quotes • Paraphrases may come too close to original though much of the original sentence is changed • Transitions exist but may be inappropriate or confusing • Sentences are mostly correct (the occasional fragment or run on) but may be awkward
