Response to reading chapter 1

I think I will learn how to summarize personal writings, tables, and how to use quotes. I think the chapter will show me the differences between paraphrasing and summarizing. It will also show me some easy ways to answer questions using my summary. Also it will teach me how to write a decent summary.

After reading the chapter, I found that I was mostly right in my expectations. One of the things that I didn't expect, but that appeared in Chapter 1 was that were in the chapter was a discussion of plagerism and advise on how to avoid it. One topic that I expected, but didn't turn up was how to answer questions based on my summaries. The only information that I found useful was how to avoid plagiarizing.
