[SIZE="5"][COLOR="Magenta"]Here[/COLOR][/SIZE] are some Tips for [COLOR="Blue"][SIZE="3"]précis writing.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

A well-written précis should be a serviceable substitute for the original work. The goal is to preserve the core essence of the work in a manner that is both clear and concise. At a minimum, the précis should include the topic or main thesis, the purpose of the research, what was studied, what methods were used, what results (or insight) were gained, and a conclusion.

[SIZE="6"][COLOR="Lime"][COLOR="blue"][SIZE="4"]Goals of the Précis[/SIZE][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE]


:)Compress and clarify a lengthy passage, article, or book, while retaining important concepts, key words, and important data.
:)Remove what is superfluous and retain the core essence of the work.
:)Give a brief description of key terms
:)Give a brief description of methods – an idea of the general approach used by the researchers.
:)State the purpose of the research or piece of writing (why was it important to conduct this research or write on this topic?)

[COLOR="Blue"][SIZE="3"][B]When finished,[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]the précis should clearly state:[/COLOR]

:?This is what was studied (argued, discussed).
:?This is how it was done (this was the focus).
:?This is what was learned.
:?This is what it means (why it is important).
