A summary essay is a concise but informative distillation of the main points made in the original piece. Make it exactly 2 pages – It can be shorter than 2 pages, but not a single line longer (including references). Make absolutely clear in the abstract and text that it is an overview of the published article(s), citing all relevant papers. Add enough relevant citations from the article (probably 3-5) to the most important other articles that are cited there. Add some illustration(s). They are worth thousands of words. The summary has a title, author (you), author affiliation (Faculty of , …), abstract, introduction, body (with subsections), conclusions (yes, add conclusions), and references. Use the 2-column layout, this is much easier to read. We would strongly recommend LaTeX styles. They are nice, you do not need to worry about layout too much (although you may if you want to procrastinate). Avoid long sentences. Be concise. In the abstract there are usually no references; it has to be readable alone. Citing: use numeric [2,3], author name (Kurzweil, 1979), or capitals [KTU76], [Kur76] styles. Citation is always part of the sentence, not outside of it [2]. And usually, sentences must be readable without citations as well. Not like: “In [1] new method was proposed”, but rather “A new method was proposed [1], that …”.
