Since you are limited to half a page, you cannot possibly include everything from the paper in your summary. A major part of your task is to decide what to present in your summary and what to leave out. Include what you feel are the most important ideas in the paper, and include only as much as you can present clearly in the space allotted to you. Do not plagiarize - write in your own words. Any direct quotations should be brief and properly identified and attributed.
Your summary should be submitted as a PDF file, in single-column format. Use at least a 10 point font. Please use the following format for your summaries:
SUMMARY: Full bibliographic information for the paper being summarized Date: Your 1-2 pargraph summary Summarized by: your name
