University students are often asked to read a text and then share their ideas about it in writing. In this workshop, you will explore how to summarize sources and respond to them effectively, whether for an assigned academic essay or for a short-answer or timed essay exam. You will also become familiar with typical exam and essay prompts so that you can clearly determine what you are being asked to do. You will examine sample summaries, reactions, and a complete Summary-Response essay so that you can understand these key components of academic writing, as well as how to avoid plagiarizing their sources.
