Summaries of the articles
The assignment is to make summaries of the articles marked X on the index sheet.
This assignment is made individually.
What is a summary?
The summary should contain the following points:
- Area (About which part of Software Engineering is the article?)
- The main statement(s) of the article (what?)
- The main arguments (why?)
- Your opinion, including possible counterarguments
(from the article but also
from other sources: the book, seminars, other articles,
common sense, hindsight).
The main statement should be a couple of lines, the main arguments
a couple of paragraphs. In all, the summary should fit on one page
(unless it is handwritten, or you have a lot of own opinion to add).
When to write them?
Make it a habit to write the summary immediately when you read the
article. Do not wait until the deadline approaches before starting.
