Week 3 Free Choice: Abstract


It is funny that while one definition of abstract is "a summary of a text", another definition is "difficult to understand; abtruse".  Hopefully mine will adhere to the first.

It is an interesting challenging to condense a year's worth of work into 120 words or less.  For guidance, I went to the model sight by Roxanne Deleon.  This gave me an excellent example of what an abstract should look like.  By sticking precisely to the steps laid out in the assignment, I was able to consolidate the work into the limited space required in the abstract.  The process was not as difficult as expected and I think that all of the required information is included.  I look forward to getting feedback and moving on to the final month of the program.

  1. LOL, Yeah, difficult to understand if one doesn't have the background on the subject, mostly because there's no room in an abstract to get one up to speak and they can be highly "jargon-laden."
