Articles from Weeks 9, 10, 11, and 12

Goal: Write short summaries on recent readings


Style: Objective and structured

Write summaries for all three of the assigned articles from the last few weeks, found with each

Module. You must do both of the following:

Week 9: Chan, K. (2019). How to Write a Scientific Paper the Dr. Chan Way.

Week 10: Lapuente, J., Hicks, T. C., & Linsenmair, K. E. (2017). Fluid dipping technology of chimpanzees in Comoé National Park, Ivory Coast. American Journal of Primatology, 79(5), e22628.

Week 11: Kumar, S. (2018). India’s paleontologists fight destruction of its fossil riches. In: Science Magazine Retrieved from https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/04/india- s-paleontologists-fight-destruction-its-fossil-riches

Week 12: Brennan, D. S. (2018). San Diego fossils reveal tiny, ancient primates. The San Diego Union-Tribune. Retrieved from https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/ communities/north-county/sd-me-new-primate-20180907-story.html

Write a summary organized this way based on each article. Each mini-summary can be just one

paragraph:

1. Starts with a sentence that gives the title and authors of the essay. For a paper with more than three authors, just call the authors “<First Author’s Last Name> and colleagues…” (1 point)

2. Then the paragraph summarizes the author’s main point. (2 points)

3. Then gives an overview of what the author describes in his writing. Do not repeat their fine details, but sum up what he wrote.

4. End the paragraph with a brief reflection: how does the essay match or go against your own experiences?

5. Style pointers: be sure that your summary has the following qualities.

1. College level writing: free from spelling and grammatical problems

2. Little to no use of direct text from the paper

3. Arrange the three mini-summaries to be like the diagram to the right:

Each mini-summary should just be around 150 words each. Choose the details to mention

carefully! The total assignment should be over 450 words. Grading is based on following the

above instructions. See the grading rubric with the assignment on Canvas.
