An overview of
content that
provides a reader with the overarching theme, but does not expand on specific details. A summary describes a larger
work (such as an entire book, speech, or
research project), and should include noticeably less content then the
original work. Summaries can save a reader time because it prevents the reader from having to actually go through and filter the important
information from the unimportant. "Ben was
able to
review the well-written summary provided by his peer, instead of re-reading the entire textbook, and as a
result he still received an A on his mid-term."
