Document Summary
Types of listening: appreciative listening, comprehensive listening, critical listening, empathetic listening. Writing and communicating is an act of conversation. We do this by referring to other views and sources (including our own views!) We do this by summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting (and referencing the source) and connecting these ideas to our own. Always put quotation marks around direct quotes (and give reference/source) Use your notes for critical thinking and reflection. Summarizing-this involves extracting the main ideas of a passage and converting them into your own words and sentence patterns. Paraphrasing-the act of rewording and use different sentence patterns to reproduce an idea or text. If you can mark the original, underline the topic sentences and key points for each reference: rewrite, retaining the order of the original. Changes in order may distort meaning: reread the original. Paraphrase topic sentences, quoting key terms as needed.
